The sacred thread used during the Raksha Bandan festival. Traditionally, sisters tie rakhi to their brothers' wrists, but the practice is often used by girls to issue a KLPD to would-be suitors.
3 lady dogs line up.
Jack: Dudeeee, they are all called Rosie. Now go buy more biscuits.
When you intend to make a booking for a long-distance train or bus journey, tickets are available in 3 flavors - Confirmed, RAC or Waitlisted.
RAC is halfway between confirmed and waitlisted. RAC is your friend, RAC is good for you. You have a seat, but no sleeping berth. You are on your way to visit your engle in your beloved naadu.
In romance, though, RAC is your foe. It is that which allows a pretty lass to take over your entire existence in the hope that one day she will be yours. But alas, it is not to be. She has reserved you, but will not confirm you. She has twisted you around her little finger, but her heart pines for someone else. But poor fellow, you don't know that, no?
RAC is a state of unrequited love. It is but a state of mind.
"She will keep you RAC lifelong, macha! Wake up!"
Sometimes the ragging can be harmless and benign (like making someone measure the size of a football field with a reynolds pen). But at times ragging can be particularly gruesome like making men stand in a line nanga by a train station etc.
For some it is natural form of assimilation. For others (puskee fellows) it can cause permanent damage to the psyche.
Except in some rural areas, rickshaws have almost disappeared but may make a future comeback as it is non polluting and non gas guzzling.
"My grandparents used to take a rickshaw to the railway station that was almost 3 km away. On the way my grandmother always stopped at the flower shop to buy god garlands."
Signifies over enthusiasm or over patronage of a person,place,event,substance or blah-blah

2. To "do a raja" means to accomplish a spectacular con or bit of thievery. This comes from DMK Telecom Minister A Raja and his role in the 2G Spectrum allocation scam. Raja is currently housed in an Indian prison.
"Party was rocking last night!"
"You look great ya, in that TV serial! Rocking, Meenu!"
And Rusy is the adjective for things Russian as in the famous Mukesh song "mera joota hai Japani.... Sar pe laal topi Rusy...

INDORE: Police have served a notice to the principal of IIST College to reveal names of students who were involved in ragging a junior, Sarthak William. Sarthak is admitted to Apollo Hospital here after receiving severe injuries due toe alleged ragging.
The Sanskrit-rooted word literally means juice, nectar, shade of vital ingredient of a thing or a thought or an act. See also the entry for Rasna that no doubt plays on this meaning.
Samosapediacs will bash me up for the little literal trip. So here is the parody -- the more vulgar nuance. Seriously.
Rasa is also slang for sperm. The poli Kannadigan boys compare in talking among themselves of the quantity of the stuff they brought out in their self-reliant, single handed(!), manly, stationary-expeditions.
While the word itself might mean any particular ruling entity in India, "Raj" by itself has come to be synonymous with the period of occupation by the British over the South Asian subcontinent. While the occupation extended decisively from 1857 to 1947, various parts of the region were under British rule even earlier in the 19th century.
"In most of these coffee and tea plantations, you will see several remnants of the Raj - not just in the architecture - but in the ways and habits of the people who live here. It will be a long while before we are able to shed these colonial trappings."
