i think its some desi racist slang but im not sure which ethnicity it refers to and where this word took root from 
some ppl were using this word and i cudnt figure it out…no-one i know knew …but since we’ve got some highly well informed ppl on GS i thought i’d ask here 
shukran
Arent they used to refer to those saudis religious policemen?
Spock...thanks for the reply...hmm...thats muttavva...but not matarva..
may be ppl say matarva to ppl who r urdu speaking though i m not sure .
thanks RT...hmm...i think u r right...do u know what it means waise? i mean what the word means?
i dont know what the literal meaning of matarwa is but ppl do use it in the sense of someone who is urdu speaking or my be more specifically a mahajar from india(once again i m not sure about it). y r u so much interested in this word :p
^
acha i c
hmm well some ppl were using it in their conversation and i dint know wat it meant so mujhay bohot TAJASSUS ho rha tha :p
yup Irem, i think the term is used to refer to urdu speaking ppl, but no idea at all what it means or how and when it originated...strange word no doubt.
and spock, yeah those maulvi police are 'muttawwa'.
Matarava = Hindoostora = Urdu Speaking.
Sometimes used by Punjabis.
Some Matarwas are Matoos, and other are not.
Madhanee,
Dude you are obsessed with the word "Matoo". Get over it. I havent seen too many posts of yours that do not use this word.
And I hate it when people have these weird names to call people.
Irem, actually I knew it when you posted the thread, just didnt want to say it.
PP, I am sorry to have hurt your feelings.
Madhanee
You did hurt my feelings. You wrote a post without using that word.
But atleast you got the flag.
thanks for the replies everyone :D
