Re: Pakistani Sense of Humour
I find taane kosne given by Sindhi and Saraiki ladies to their children a lot. They are humorous. use of words ‘Mua’, ‘Ni’baghaa’
There used to be a Khala Irshad in one of my friend’s neighbor.. she used to kos her son a lot . when Titanic song released, we translated those kosnay in English and sung it in that tune.
I used to ask Amma meaning of some words used by those ladies. Like there was a word ‘Marwaan’ which was used for nasty and destructive boys. When I asked amma, she said ‘pata nahin baRi booRhiyan kehti thin’. Lately, I guessed it might be Marwan Bin Abdul Malik
