So, what are those Pakistani linguistic cues, that when you hear them - you think - AHA! *Zaroor Pakistan se koi’ee taaluq hoga inka.

*I shall start the list:

oversmart - as in: Mere saat aap ziyaada *oversmart *honay ki koshish na karein.

mention not - Aap ka bohut thank you ji :blush:
You’re welcome :phati:
Mention not

(I never quite figured out whether mention not was you’re welcome or a way to extend the conversation beyond thank you :hmmm:

**I care a damn **- (Long drawn out filmy dialogue ending in a threat or a warning to which responder needs to express their contempt and disregard) I care a damn!!!

Please add yours.

Re: Pakistani-isms

Why not? For those who don’t know, they may need to understand the context and usage of the term.

Re: Pakistani-isms

**lush! **is just a way of saying something is amazing like larrki lush hai, car lush hai…i heard it in KHI a lot
**
mummy daddy type larrka hai ya larrki hai **means the same as burger family only different words… have heard it a lot in the faisalabad area …

maybe both phrases are local to khi and faisalabad respectively… but ive heard the 2nd one in lhr as well

hopefully someone else can shed more light
