Re: Half and short names

Ok, there is also another side of the story specially in case of women. After having children, they are called Pappu ki maa, guddu ki maa. Decades ago women didn't call names of their husbands and call them munne ke abba. There are two ghisse pitte jokes coming into my mind.

One about a man named 'Makhan'. once someone came to his wife for getting lassi and there was piece of butter (makhan) in lassi. when inquired 'whats in lassi'. she replied sharma'ing ' Munne ke abba teir rahe hain'

Next one is for a guy whose name was Rehmatullah and her wife used to say at the time of salam phering in namaz 'Assalam o alaikum munne ke abba'.

Re: Half and short names

But why orange. Is it dipped in Fanta? (j/k). Hope parcel ka munasib intezaam hoga

From Barfi I remember, we used to call our gol matol cousin ‘Ladoo’.

Re: Half and short names

Even my saas use similar words for my sasur:D

My classmates name was Farhana Balushi, called Miss Balushahi:D, a pathan immigrant, unique accent of Hindi, she used "thaa" and "thii" according to her own wish without giving any serious thought to grammatical correctness :D

that is good one:D and Marathis beating drums on Ganesh Chaturthi with the song Babuji Zaraa dheere chalo:D

Re: Half and short names

Re: Half and short names

Which words? Munne ke abba?

Same is the situation with Urdu, when spoken by non Urdu speaking communities. Thanks to Angrez daan, even children of Urdu speaking parents now face this problem and we were discussing this in another thread today.

Still can’t understand, whether they use orange color or orange juice in burfi

and lol at Babu ji zara dheere chalo on Ganesh Chaturthi.. BTW, I think Ganesh was also fond of food as depicted by Gattoo of Ba Bahoo Baby..

Re: Half and short names

His name is Vivek, hence Vivek ke papa:D, she even objected me so I found another way of addressing him:)

Here, Children see enough of Chhota Bheem and Ninja Hattori, hence speak it properly plus Delhiwalas are Hindi speakers only so not much problem :k:

Both Juice and Orange in Burfi, it is delicious Nagpur special. Marathis play all type of songs that has nothing to do with Ganesh from Chaturthi till Visargan:D. Yes Ganesh is too much fond of ladoo

^ Another way of not calling name of husband is 'Ajee suntay ho'. Are you following that one?

Re: Half and short names

I am call him "Yaara" or Kashmiri when I am in senses, and even swear words,as complained by him:D when I am drunk

muqawwee123 · February 25, 2012, 6:56pm

Re: Half and short names

Yaara is something new and can be tried ;).

There was a tradition in some Sindhi families to call children with strange names (including names of vegetables and fruits) mostly in cases where their earlier children died at young age. Due to this, I heard names like Mirch, leemo khan, Basar (piyaz / onion), Laung, etc.
