"Is Marathi slang 'Aai Cha Gho' the same as Punjabi 'Bhen De Pakode'? Are both designed to offend, confuse, or make you question your lunch order?
"Is Marathi slang 'Aai Cha Gho' the same as Punjabi 'Bhen De Pakode'? Are both designed to offend, confuse, or make you question your lunch order? I mean, think about it: neither of these technically means anything offensive. One’s about someone’s mom and a gho a goo (mothers husband or mothers potty ), and the other’s dragging sisters into the world of deep-fried snacks. But wait, this linguistic mystery doesn’t stop here. Tamil has ‘Dei Naaye’ (literally: ‘Hey Dog!’). Dogs are cute, why should anyone feel bad? Then there’s Bengali’s ‘Ore Baal’ (translated: ‘Oh, Hair’), which feels like someone yelling at their barber instead of an actual insult. Is this a universal thing where every language just decides, ‘Let’s come up with random words that sound bad but actually mean nothing’? And why does it work? Are we supposed to feel attacked by husband, potty, snacks, animals, and hair? TL;DR: Does anyone else’s language have insults that make no sense but still somehow hurt your feelings? Or is this just a desi specialty?"4
