Is “Kameena” considered a curse/gaali for desis?
I don’t know about most of you but I heard this word constantly growing up. Actually come to think of it I heard ALOT of bad words that I used to think were okay to say but are obviously not now. (Just b/c some relatives would call someone else a ********************
in all jest/fun, doesnt mean I can do the same). But i’m not quite sure about “kameena/kameeni” (greedy)?
Re: KameeNay
ab kameenay ko kameena nahi kahein ge to kya kaheein ge?
but yes its a cursed word
Re: KameeNay
I think Kameen were lower class/cast people in the past.
Kamina also mean "child of love".
Anyhow it is considered 'moderately' bad word.
You heard LOTS of bad words Sara? I am not going to have a contest with you then... ;-)
Re: KameeNay
The way you mentioned it Sara...I was imagining a lady on top of a hill awaz deiiing "Oh Kameeenneeey"...:D
Same would be "Oh KUtttteehhh":D
Anyway...I would tink depends on what sort of a relationship you have with the person who is saying that. If its a friend and you know they ar joking then its a moderate mazak sort of a gaali...but if not then its a bad gaali...and for that you have to say"sumbaady gonna get hurt real bad:ASA: "
Re: KameeNay
I always thought kameena meant "meanie" -- not only in the sense of someone who was cruel or nasty but also "mean" in the sense of kanjus.

Re: KameeNay
kameena/kameeni could mean a lot of thing ....... meanie, stingy, annoying person, disrespectful, disobedient etc
Depends on who is calling this and in what tone of voice. If a complete stranger says it to you it's definitely a gaali but still a milder one. If parents says it .... that could mean they think you are being disrespectful or disobediant ... between friends it could just be a joke or some serious business depending on tone and situation.

Funny story about the word kameeni...
I used to go to school with a West Indian girl whose parents loved Indian movies and their favorite actress was the olden days great Kamini Kaushal. Only problem was - they didn't know how to pronounce the name. Soooo, instead of calling their daughter Kamini, she became kameenee (LOL). It was only later in life when she was in school with other South Asians that she learned what her parents mispronunciation had done to her name.
Re: KameeNay
i thought kameena=tight arse. defintely not a polite word.
