This is a follow up to the 'Top 10 most irritating English phrases' post...There are some phrases spoken by Indians which irritate me a lot...They are:
- Timepass
- Fuchcha (used in Delhi University...Refers to a college fresher)
- Fundu (Again, used in Delhi in lieu of fundamental)
- K.Nags (Kamala Nagar), Def. Col (Defence Colony)- I hate the Indian penchant for shortening names
- Arre yaar
- Do the needful
- Tight slap (does a tight slap hurt more than a regular one?)
- Isn't it? (e.g. "You must be hungry, isn't it?)
- Will try my level best
- Don't be pricey
- Prepone
- Mention not
- The current has gone (instead of "the power has gone")
- The use of the word "boy" instead of "man" (e.g. cricketers are called boys..."The boys played well today")
