chatanga1 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 It does rather seem to imply a loaded double barrel shotgun. Will run it past a few elders when I get a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatanga1 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 what is the Panjabi word for "busy"? So many times I've heard people say "bas, busy busy," when asked how they are. I was thinking of the word "rujha" but that seems to lean more towards absorbed, "oh apne kam bich rujha si" . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they will say awdey ghar jao Another Malwai word that trips people is 'ehkun', ਏਕਣ (I don't think that is spelled right?), which means something like 'like this' or 'like that'. ਏਕਣ ਨਾ ਕਰ - 'Don't do it like that' or 'Don't do that' ਏਕਣ ਸੀ - 'It was like that' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is exactly, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it may well have been a Majha person who came out with the above. Now what is it that makes me think this way....
