  1. This whole juvenile mocking of another language by horse-blinder vision reminds me of a Tamil joke my cousins and I concocted when we were much younger, like a year ago. We were trying to come up with desi porn titles, and so we decided to throw in some Hindi ones as well, quite mindful of our paltry command of the language. So we came up with “Yaar Phool, Yaar Sapna Hai”. Lawd, I’m still rolling over with laughter…..

  2. fuuuunnnnnyyy!! my do paise – Lodha is an actual last name in Rajhastan, India. and the following is true anecdote – a decade or so ago…. whilst living in delhi. i answered the phone and the gentlemen on the other end requested to speak to my father. upon hearing that my dad was unavailable, he asked me to convey that a mr.lodha from jaipur had called….”lodha ka phone aya tha”

  3. Southie Dada, did you guys ever play the game where you take Hindi film titles and make them sound like pornos by adding “bister mein” at the end? 🙂

  5. Always a pleasure to see Yiddish appreciated – the Farklempt at the post’s start. My grandfather wrote two books of Yiddish poetry in the 1930’s and 40’s. Everything is 20% funnier in Yiddish.

  6. Madhuri’s last name still cracks me up. However, this name takes the cake. I had a white co-worker who was dating an indian boy called ‘Hardik’. Can you imagine the fun when she started, ‘I had the most amazing time with HarDik last night’ or ‘What HarDik wants, HarDik gets’ etc etc. Bless her heart..and his parents.

    I went to highschool with Anaas and Anaal (brothers)! It’s a good thing they were massive and could have kicked anyone’s ass that would have made fun of them. Of course that didn’t stop anyone from doing it behind their back. Heheheheh

  8. used to chuckle seeing this store and its symbol. but today’s revelations (way too many) made me hysterical.

  10. DD…atleast the parents of the A kids spelt their names somewhat normally. I went to school with this very very pretty girl called Anal Shah. I hope for her sake that she changed her name before getting to university. Some people just don’t think!!

    Well, maybe. On the other hand, she might have been a very bad girl indeed and it might’ve worked in her favour 😉

    Okay, I’m just joking. You’re absolutly right; parents who plan to move to the West with desi-born kids, or indeed have children after migrating to this part of the world, should use their common sense when it comes to naming them.

  13. I know a guy called Kun Ji, and I everytime I see him (or his badge), I’ve to try hard to stifle (juvenile) laughter. Whats the joke?

    Its tamil slang for semen. Karthik, plz have pity on ur international audience 😉

    Sorry, the second line of my comment got cut off. Kunji is the Tamil equivalent of Lund… Could be Malayalam too, but I am not too sure. God, I can’t believe I am typing this 🙂

  17. hmmmm….adding on to the high-school-flunkies’ gibberish,i know a vietnamese guy named Tru Ho…..and a Mexican dude whose name tag reads…I.M.Morone…

    what?noone’s laughing??

  18. nfa:

    you almost had me with the vietnamese name but this

    and a Mexican dude whose name tag reads…I.M.Morone…

    blew up your spot. that’s obviously an italian surname. 😉

  19. Speaking of Vietnamese names, I went to school with a guy named Phuc Yu. Thankfully, he called himself Sherman. Also, I work with a chick named Maddie Bush.

  20. Wow, Totally missed this whole conversation.

    Kinda related: I was at the Elizabeth, NJ Ikea yesterday and they are selling a few desi prints. One is a print of a Bharat Natayam dancer on a beach in full costume. Another is a photo of colored powders from a street vendor in Nepal. And illustrations of Cambodian/Bharat Natayam-ish looking dancers. Tré desi, indeed.

  21. Karthik, my entrails are on the floor…. Kun Ji??? LOL. I don’t think Malayalam uses it though.

  23. at work, we use a Monte Carlo simulation program developed at Lund university that is known as the Lund model. I always have to remember to use the Swedish pronunciation rather than the Indian one…

  27. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… SHUT THIS THREAD DOWN … NOW … ABORT. ABORT… Hooooieennn… Hooooiiieenn… Hooooiiieenn… Hooooiiieenn…

  28. “he also explains to me that a bulla is the same as a lund, and i truly think he’s mistaken. so i have to ask, is he right?” When I was in school, a bulla (also sometimes pronounced bolla) refered to a punch to the lund, not the lund itself.

    my husband had a big giggle when he saw they have ice-cream here (AUS) made by a company called Bulla

  30. I am not fart of your grope, butt eye, would like to know if Lund has a sport program, I mean what about the Lund Jocks? Do they get “cranky” in cold weather? and nut warmers? No body likes cold nuts.

  31. My favorite linguistic potty joke involves a highway sign in German-speaking countries. I think that it means exit, or something like that, because they are everywhere. Anyway, the sign says “Ausfahrt.” AUSFAHRT haha!!

  33. Sohrab Hall in Pune has a restaurant aptly named ‘Preshit’ (which in Sanskrit means messiah).
