How about 'apka pagal hain?'. It worked when some youth follow me this is a wrong sentence,the right sentence is AAP PAAGAL HAIN,
means you are mad
It is also well
When you are saying Paagal to somebody, why to give respect then???
better say, "tu pagal hai" or "kya tu pagal hai?"
better say, "tu pagal hai" or "kya tu pagal hai?"

This sentence doesn't really mean anything (literarly it's something like: do you have a crazy?).

Badaam milk is Almond milk. A kilo of badaam is a kilo of Almonds, well, in Bangalore anyway.

Coming to think of it, while 'badaam' is the generic name for any kind of nut in Bengali, the word, stand alone, can mean just groundnuts ('cheena badaam'), because that is the most common nut in use by far. You can just ask for 'badaam', and you'll get groundnuts. It never means 'almonds'! Ground nuts are peanuts. Badaam is Almonds.

I did mention I was talking about Bengali. A heinous crime, I agree, since this is a thread on Hindi words. My apologies.

The word badaam came from Farsi, -- Hindi doesn't have a patent on it. As I said, it means nuts of any kind in Bengali at least, and if one just asks for a kilo of badaam (without any qualification), one would get a kilo of groundnuts/peanuts in Bengal.

The one I used a lot was BAAS, enough, stop.
The other one was to get kids laughing, I said CHOOHAA, and wrinkled my nose while pointing at someone. They would crack up.
So, does anyone know what choohaa means?
I was told to say it by my boss.
