BANDRA (9): If Webster was from Bandra…his ‘book’ would have been thicker…





For the past few months, I have been actively trying to promote my blog and Bandra ‘internationally’, hence the six months hiatus.
There are however many gaps to be bridged...

One of the first things which I have noticed that always seems to bring people from different races and cultures; closer together is Abusive Slang.

So, as a start to what may become a long list of beautifully articulated words and phrases, here’s the Bandra Abusive Slang all spelled out:

Bugger: Used to refer to ANY and EVERY one you know in Bandra.
‘Not utilized’ in the Homosexual context as most of the world does know it but used as meaning ‘fellow’ or ‘chap’.
· Has also been improvised into ‘Bloody Bugger’ (still staying away from the homosexual reference here) and is used here in more abusive context.
· Can be used as a verb as well e.g Mario buggered up my car…
It does not mean that Mario did ‘naughty things’ with the car’s exhaust but simply means that Mario has damaged or ruined the car’s engine in some ‘other’ way.

Ballrag: This verb means 'to get furiously angry'. Commonly used in the past tense
e.g My wife was futaye ballragged 'cos I forgot our anniversary.  


Chaunt: Stupid Irritating C*^t, a combination of these three powerful words here, makes this one very heartfelt.
This word was used around a lot in the mid 1980’s but died off slowly towards the end of the century. I am hoping it makes a comeback.

Fourjack: Similar to a Chaunt , but slightly less irritating and more stupid. i.e. a dumbf**k

Fod : (pronounced fo(r)d) A lot less irritating than a Fourjack but a lot more dumber.

Your Grandfathers/Grandmothers Jambuls/Pears/Brinjals/Various other fruits and vegetables: Translates as ‘Are you crazy?’…Often used as a reply to an illogical solution; providing a modest yet vivid description of the person’s grandparents genital regions.

To Rape One’s Happiness: Translates as being told off firmly by someone in a higher position than you and therefore getting your mood down for the rest of the day.
e.g My boss will rape my happiness if I show up late for work today.
· Can also be used the other way around if you are the one in the position to do the raping.

One Tight Slap: When slapping a person in Bandra, it should be spectacularly done or not done at all, therefore it should be ‘TIGHT’, i.e. forceful.
· Similarly, you can also ‘wafrao’, ‘raptao’ or ‘futkao’ him.

Please feel free to let me know if I have left out any, as these were the only ones that came to my mind at the time of writing this...

But remember they should be 'local and as pleasantly abusive as possible...

Otherwise I will rape your happiness....!
