need to learn to cuss in Hindi

So I got a phone call last night from Mr Ranjur Sandeep from Microsoft Windows about a problem my computer is having.

Time for some fun!

Kept him tied up on the phone for 30 minutes, acting like an id10t but giving small clues that I'm not running windows (ie, describing output of top instead of eventviewer).

Finally told him I was a Linux admin and had been screwing with him, but it was nice keeping him on the phone and from scamming some little old lady.

He said "you are a miserable mother farking some of a *****" and slammed the phone down so hard I heard it here in Florida from India.

So... Need to learn some swear words in Hindi, or appropriate insults (you're father smells of elderberries)

So the poor guy that needed tech support either didn't get it, or had to wait.

It's not like this was a scammer or unsolicited salesman...........

It was a scammer.

MSFT does not call people to tell them about problems with their PC's.

Indeed. Except for a VM of Win 7 (which is registered on work's enterprise license) that I need to grade some labs my students do, I don't even have an installed copy of Windows in the house.

A polite expression, similar to "thank you" is tika. Pronounced as tee-ka. At least that's what the Hindi dudes at work tell me.

I could give you a few choice words of Urdu, but no Hindi.

True story. My MIL received the same call. They are an all Apple household. She picked up an air horn and gave the fellow a blast. She said the ringing ears were worth it.

Air horns cross all language barriers. Me? I hand the phone to my children and let them F with the guy.

Well, I'm not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure this'll enable you to really piss him off.

The Word "BhenChod" is an Indian abuse.
also pronounced as Behen-Chod.

It is a combination of two words
1- Behen
2- Chod

The word Behen means "Sister"
and
The word Chod means "having sexual intercourse"
Interesting, my buddy that speaks Urdu used to use this one, but apparently, it's Hindi.

Quote:
gandu
Hindi word for arsehole. Also used to describe someone stupid and incredibly dim witted. Sometimes also used when a person is unhelpful or stingy or just plain anal.
Quote:
chutia
Derived from the word chut (literally from the vagina/chute), it is a Hindi/Urdu slang word used to describe what we call a "douchebag" or also a complete moron.
John is a chutia because he wears two polos at once and pops both collars.

Swapnil: Dinosaur, how do you spell "it"?
Dinesh: The fu-
Swapnil: WRONG! The answer is "I-T"!
Dinesh: You are a chutia.

As most of you know, I find myself in some pretty out-of-the-way corners of our world when I'm out fixing airplanes. I've found general cussing to be almost universally understood, but I bet it comes off better in person than over the phone. The actual words used seem unimportant - it's all in the delivery. Tone, tempo, volume, gestures - while I only speak two languages, I find I can communicate and understand in just about any when it comes down to this.

I do the same thing with scammers. I figure the more time they are on the phone with me, the less time they are on the phone with a real victim.

Not a swear, but the word "buss", mean stop or enough. I pounded my fist on the table at a meeting to get everyone's attention and shouted "BUSS!". We also used it politely at dinner to tell the waiter enough food: "Buss-buss". Or tell a non English speaking taxi drive to stop and pull over by pointing where and saying: "Buss."

You can also insult most people in India proper by calling them "Sindhi" (like Cindy). It is a state in what is now Pakistan where the people are notoriously cheap.

"How do you get 10 Sindhi's into a phone booth? - Throw in a Rupee!"

I've forgotten all of the Urdu stuff from Pakistan...

Not Hindi, but Spanish...well, Mexican.
I was 18 and quite naive when I went into the military...right off the farm.
Foxy little Senorita at the local eatery like to flirt w/me...so I asked my Calif.-born Mexican buddy how to say "You are cute." to her.

Well, he coached me until I had the it all down...including the native lilt.
Next time she waited on me, I said, "Es un Coño." to her with a smile.
That didn't turn out well - to say the least.
I never went back.
.
California boys had a good laugh on that one.

Well, I work in IT in Houston. Some of the shops that I've worked in could be considered "Little Pakistan".
