And there is a very retro Bollywood song ‘Sala mai tou Sahab ban gya’ - now who is he swearing at? Looks it’s a figure of speech as well.

Oh and there is also that stupid Shehzad Roy song ‘sali tou maani nahi’ which is basically asking a girl’s hand in marriage. Quite ridiculous sounding song.

Its how you use these swear words. When close friends use them there’s no issue, but if its used with a stranger it ha different connotations.
