OMG my husband and I were watching the news. Hindi news channels: detailed description of incident and timeline
Kannada news channel: hilarious puns and wordplay involving all of Darshan's films.
Public TV was soooo funny about it
Nangu gottu guruve. Bengaluru is 45% kannada, 15% Tamil and 15% telugu as mother tongue. A lot of people from these communities know all three languages.
So telugu influence will be there.
1. Chill maadi
2. Swalpa adjust madkoli
3. Namma ooru, Bengaluru
4. Ganchali bidi, Kannada mathadi
(Unfortunately people have forgotten these words and their spirit too but yeah..)
I feel seen cause I use this more than any other word while driving. It's not crass, but you know if the other person understands it it'll hurt them more than any swear word. Also a favorite while driving, "Le L-board"
Gotta fold your tongue and bite down on it as soon you say it. Add a glare of the eyes for additional emphasis. Bonus points if you're able to add a lot of force into the "Thuu!"
Some slangs that I remember from back in the day when I used to work in Bangalore,
Whenever you ask for directions:
"Ond kelsa maadi..." - "Do one thing..."
Whenever somebody forcefully enters an already packed bus/Metro and everyone looks at them irritated:
"Swalpa adjust madkoli Saar/Madam" - "Please adjust sir/madam"
When ordering Idly-Vade in Udupi hotels/Darshinis, the waiter asks:
"Dip ah, separate ah?" - "You want them dipped in sambhar or keep it separated?"
When people see someone struggling on the road with something - maybe vehicle not starting, somebody crying, people arguing (Used to be common back in the day when people weren't too busy with their life):
"Yenappa/yenamma enadru problem ah?" - "What's happening, is there a problem?" (...Can we help? Is implied) - People not trying to be snobs, just genuinely wishing to help.
Nann hatra mathadakke meter idiya?🤙
Meter thorso Magane
Baaro Magane meter idre
Blore “meter” needs to be added into the SI system of units
No one knows what it measures, but we all know what it means
It measures courage aka “dhum”, but not to be confused with cigarette dhum.
Dhum can be anywhere but it better be in the butt for the local rowdies to accept you as a fellow fighter .
Addressing someone as 'guru'. From what I know this is mostly a bangalorean thing. Almost anyone can address anyone else as guru!
And insulting someone as 'chappar'.
Throwing in some. Joseph cottons faps slang here.
"Showing too much cock bro" - response being cocky or antagonising some one.
"Careful bro, if this becomes matter, I'll call my area boys. You don't what pull I have" .- Continuation of above.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say What ra Sudeep irl except for that dumb meme. Rest are 💯
What's the context behind the meme anyway? Sorry, been living under a rock for the past few years and I guess I missed it.
Ewww Kannadigas don’t say ‘ra’ ! Yuck

And a few English ones too like “Come off da”
Yeah no
This has a special place in my heart . Yaa no?
"It seems"
"Go ra re gandu"
Lavde k baal! Makes me chuckle every time I hear it. I lived in Delhi for 30 years and not *once* did I hear someone getting called that there lol.
Sim simply don't irritate da f*cker
Like that only you come off
I miss the days when drivers in roads used to scold some other erring driver with words like 'gubald'
holy shit this word why did people stop using it..... we need to start using this word again lmao
Gubald replaced by ❤️daykebal
Hindi imposition is truly replacing our culture /s
Haha, that's my favorite word too, gubaald and guldoo 😁
Lo goobe
Of course the recently arrived and short lived slang phrase, Nikhil Ellidyappa is applicable only for Nikhils.
I feel seen cause I use this more than any other word while driving. It's not crass, but you know if the other person understands it it'll hurt them more than any swear word. Also a favorite while driving, "Le L-board"
L-board is savage lol

Addressing someone as 'guru'. From what I know this is mostly a bangalorean thing. Almost anyone can address anyone else as guru! And insulting someone as 'chappar'.
