Some new words, phrases, sounds and expressions by yours truly, that just might find an entry in the Oxford Dictionary some day:

• Klipithiri: Referring to a small twist or problem
• Tsuna / Tsunapi: Thing
• Fool of a guy / Moron of a guy: When the person alluding to is an absolute fool or moron

• Dusht Kumari: Cruel Girl
• Vyaaj Kumar: A con guy, or someone who cannot be trusted
• Santhosh Kumar: Happy Guy
• Ksheen Kumar: Tired Guy
• When to use the word 'Funny': When you want to refer to someone or something as different, ugly, awkward, bad or just plain 'funny'. Sometimes can be used as a word filler, when you run out of words, and still come clean.
• Fooling around: Again a sort of filler, where you can say 'fooling around' for just about anything without really meaning 'fooling around'.
• 'Ga' Shape: In malayalam the letter 'ga' resembles the letter 's' when horizontally tilted at 90 deg. It refers to the condition of a person when physically unwell (a combination, or otherwise, of headache, neck-ache, backache, leg-ache etc)

• Dishkyaeow: The sound says it all!
• Zokka: Fatso task /thing/person
• No Raksha: No hope
• Ithian Bothamless: A person who has no common sense ('Botham' in malayalam means sense)
• 'Meim' (as in gori 'meim') - 'Maam' with a twist (and a dollop of butter for maska-fying) ;)
