Hands off my bhasha

It’s great and all that desi actors are landing lots of terrorist roles. And that you get to hear Urdu in Iron Man and Punjabi in Get Smart. And that the actors are allowed to speak their own languages rather than phonetic lines in more accurate ones (Dari or Pashto or Russian).

But seriously, I speak Hindi/Urdu and Punjabi to say ‘pass the samosas,’ not ‘death to America’

    I use foreign languages for the colorful insults often, especially when it comes to berating someone’s intelligence. Which might be considered terrorism by our current administration. ;)

    Let’s not forget the hilarity in Domino where the afghan guy speaks in Urdu/ hindi. I didn’t quite understand what he was saying, but it was clearly Urdu/Hindi.

    Like Brimful, I too use foreign languages to insult people. Thought my colorful Guju and Swahili comes out most during road rage bouts. I bet im being wiretapped….’ghaand’…
