Some posts here are just hilarious, ‘origin’ of word desi? Theres not one word have in common but hundreds of words, chalo maro khalo nahalo whats their origin… nevermind. I’ve heard ‘apnay’ or ‘apna’ never heard desi in this context. I just say Pakistani for Pakistani things and walaiti for the rest of the world.

I’ve heard apnay being used by my UK friends. They also say "oh my days " as well. That isn’t restricted to background. I think in UK you guys say asians for all who fall under Pakistani, Indians etc. I think US and maybe Australia they say desi/south asians.

I’ll get back to you on the origins of those words
