Akif, listen to Faisal yaar..he is a bigger FoB than you are. Good going Faisal… :k:
Guys, can some Phultru please explain to Matsui what a Phultru is.
Matty.......does your kid use a feeder for milk? If so, you must have come across that long wire scrub used to scrub the inside of a bottle. Thats your phultroo right there:) Its a distortion of 'pull-through', a similarly designed device, meant to clean gun barrels.
Oh ok although we don;t that device, I have seen that in India. It still deosn;t explain Madhanee's usage of it. that might be a whole different application.
Matsui, how dumb can you get. Madhanee gave you the best analogy of cleaning gun barrels and then Akif went a step further by giving an everyday example of cleaning feeder bottles.
A phultru is someone who likes to stick himself in other people's things.
get it? You are th ebiggest phultru?
I have seen that in India
No wonder you trip India every other month.

Quite similar for most people going to the UAE...who all went to 'dabaee', whether the guy was in Qatar, bahrain or Oman......it was always 'dabaee gaye hain'.

Unless UAE attacked and captured Qatar, Bahrain and Oman in the last few hours, I am pretty sure that these are not part of UAE.

Actually some people classify the whole of Arabia as Saudi Arabia. The reason they give is if its a desert than its Saudi Arabia.

and yet for all purposes it seems to be. I remember back in 94 when for a month I studied in a school in Karachi, my Social Sciences teacher asked me where I had come from and I said Muscat. Muscat is where? me:Oman. Oman.. is that in Dubai?
