A IS FOR ADJUST
Punjabis will always ask you to adjust whenever they want to push you around.
B IS FOR BACKSIDE
It has nothing to do with your bum, it is an instruction to go to the rear of a building, or block, or shop or whatever.
C IS FOR CLONEY
It's not a process for replicating sheep, nor is its first name George. It is merely an area where people live e.g. ... "Dfence Cloney".
E IS FOR EXPANDITURE
Punjabis are never shy of spending money on the latest cars, gadgets, marble floors: their ambitions are always expanding.
F IS FOR FACKADE
Even though it sounds like a bad word, it is actually just the front of a building (with backside being the back, of course).
G IS FOR GADDI
And the way a Punjabi can pilot his gaddi puts any F1 driver to shame. (If the Grand Prix does come to Delhi, there's no way Hamilton, Alonso or Kimi can overtake Balvinder, Jasvinder or Sukhvinder.)
H IS FOR HO JAYEGA JI
And the moment you hear that you have to be careful because you can be reasonably sure it's not going to happen.
I IS FOR INTEZAAR
And to know more about it see P.
J IS FOR JINDAGI
And if there's one person who knows how to live life to the fullest, it's a Punjabi.
K IS FOR KHANNA, KHURANA, ETC
The Punjabi equivalent of the Joneses (e.g."Keeping up with the Khuranas")
L IS FOR LOVELY
But, unfortunately, she almost never is.
M IS FOR MROOTI
The car that an entire generation of Punjabis were in love with.
N IS FOR NO PROBLEM JI
To find out how that works see H.
O IS FOR OYE
Which can be surprise (Oyye!), a greeting (Oyy!), anger (OYY!) or pain (Oy oy oy...).
P IS FOR PANCH MINIT
And no matter how near (1 km) or far (100 km) a Punjabi is from you, he always says he'll reach you in panch minit.
Q IS FOR QUEUE
A word completely untranslateable into Punjabi.
R IS FOR RIKS
And a Punjabi is always prepared to take one, even if the odds are against him.
S IS FOR SWEETIE
Bunty, Pappu and Sonu, who seem to own half the cars in Delhi.
T IS FOR TANDOORI CHICKEN
The official bird of Punjab
U IS FOR UNCLE-HI
When you lose your sex appeal you become that
V IS FOR VIP PHONE NUMBERS
@ Rs 15 lakh and counting.
W IS FOR WHAN
As in "Whan are you coming, ji?"
X IS X-RATED WORDS
And many flow freely in all Punjabi conversations.
Y IS FOR YOU NONSENSE
When anger replaces vocabulary in a shouting match.
Z IS FOR ZIGZAG
(Please refer to G, M and P)
