We bet that Indore is the only place in India, though having Hindi as its chief language, but it comes with such a signature twist, that other Hindi speaking lad from other state will scratch his head thinking what kind of Hindi this is! We Indori speak Hindi but with a signature style. In this article, Indore HD has compiled five of the twisty and quirky slangs a typical Indori uses!
Rest of India – Slap/Jhapad ; Indore – Chankat/Repta Pel Dunga
If you want to slap someone here or want to threat someone with a slap, you don’t say that am gonna slap you. A typical Indori will say – “O Jyaada Tej Chal Riya Hai Kya? Ek Chankat Me Sankat Me Dal Dunga Teko.” So the next time you hear someone saying this word; say hi to him and yell Jai Indore!
Rest of India – Eating/ Khana ; Indore – Heenchna
If you are gonna meet a normal person who’s hungry, he’s gonna say that he will go and eat. But with an Indori, it’s a different case boss. A typical Indori will say – “Bhiya, Bhook Lagi Hai Lapakk Kya APan Ko, Poha Heench Ke Aate Hai”
Rest of India – Shavyaatra; Indore – Dead Body Me Ja Riya Hu
Yes, we have a specific Indori word for this too. Generally, people say it’s a shavyaatra but an Indori will announce “Dead Body Me Ja Riya Hu” to pay his respect to the deceased. No, don’t think that he is disrespecting the one but this is what an Indori use generally!
Rest of India – Argument / Problem; Indore – Cassette Ulajh Gayi
When we see people who are in problem or facing difficulty, we generally hear them saying that they are in a deep trouble. In Indore, a person who is having an argument will say – “Kyu Cassette Uljha Riya Hai” or if he is in problem, he will say – “Matter Lapakk Ho Giya Hai Apna”
Rest of India – Passed Away; Indore – File Nipat Gayi
Dont take this otherwise, but this is how a typical Indori speaks. There is no disrespect or making fun of anyone in the language or the style an Indori has. So if you see an Indori sayin – “Bhiya Pados Me File Nipat Gayi Dada Ki,” then simply understand that dada passed away!
So, these were the quirky day to day slangs used by typical Indori guys. If you remember more, do share them in comments!
