Talking Shalking
North Indians love "echo" sounds tagged onto nouns that result in sing-song words that enliven conversations and inject playfulness into the vernacular.
Examples of these double-baralled words include:

Suitboot
eating-veating
marriage-sharriage
ice-cream-fice-cream

There are infinite variations...

Too much meat-veat is going to make me look like a fatty bombalatty for my shadi-vadi next week. I won't be able to fit into my suitboot yar!

tholgogo!
Adjective.
It means 'go die'. Not literally like go & commit soocide or anything, dont mistikk me, its just a casual 'go to hell' kinda 'go die'.

If youre in lazy mood, just abbreviate to 'tholg'. Its very versatile like that.

Talk Slowly
Phrase.
July 20, 2011, Word of the Day
To speak softly.

In the vernacular, there is no distinction between "slow" and "soft" (For example, the word "Dheeray se", in Hindi means both slow and soft). The meaning is therefore lost in translation and thus we find that "talk slowly" is a distinctly Indian expression.

Firang (in loud voice): Can I get the KAMASUTRA?
Librarian: Please, sir, this is a library, talk slowly.
Firang: I...WOULD...LIKE...TO...BORROW...THE...KAMA...SUTRA...PLEASE...
Librarian: Sir, this is a family place, childrens are being here, you please talk slowly. Mind it please, sir!
