BUDDD WHYYYY not a dictionary.....

I'm stepping away from the BUDDD WHYYY tradition and in this post am compiling together some terms which have become part of our daily vocabulary... buddd whyyyy you ask? That's the question isn't it!

DWINKLE: A swift dimpled smile along with a twinkle in the eye. All little kids use this to effectively get out of trouble when they have been caught red handed, perpetrating some heinous crime - like tying their sister's pigtails to the electric pole. Incidentally that's exactly what this team's boss does too.

SWC: Sideways coffee. As opposed to going up to the cafeteria (ok canteen really). This is a very welcome post lunch break when your head is about to go **THUDDD** on your laptop keyboard.

BAAWAA: A multipurpose word used to bring out intangible shades of meaning. Generally used at the end of sentences.

NAUUUTANKI: Encompasses everything that is inexplicable to the person saying it. Combined with the above can very effectively put across the sayer's utter confusion at a situation for example 'kya nauuutanki hai re baaawa?'

PHOCUS: Everyone in life lacks this and needs to get it ASAP. It's the solutions to most ills that ail mankind, like - no thinking, no effort, no quality, no vision and the like.

WHOAA-HA-HA-HA: An extreme state of superiority of self over all other creatures (humans included) that inhabit earth and space.

While you chew over those I hope to keep adding to this lexicon ...
