arre baba!

i have come to the conclusion that hindi is a brillian language. for example, you can be really rude and people won't even think you're rude. at least it feels rude to say some things in hindi. such as arre baba! arre is hard to explain, but it means something like come on, give me a break or you're full of shit. baba means approximately the same as 'dude'. so if you say 'arre baba!' it can mean:

- you're an ass, asshole!
- oh, you nasty little boy
- oh boy
- come on, brother
- you're crazy.

and many more.

so what i was saying about being rude and saying 'arre baba' is quite the cool because even if you say ARRE BABA!! in a very rude and high pitched voice, the receiver of your shout-out might filter it just as a simple 'come on, man' even if you really meant 'give me a break you off-ripping piece of shit!'

positive result: lots of aggression let lose from my side and no offense taken from i.a. the rickshaw driver's side.

what a peaceful language.
