A few of our favourite Urdu words 1

In dodgily-transcribed-roman-character form:

  • chipkli (lizard)
  • gadger (carrot)
  • beewee (wife)
  • saass (mother-in-law)
  • panties (35)
  • pujpun (55)
  • pissle (slip/slide)

And sentence of the week goes to:  "Can the cow slide down the glacier?", with worthy runner-up: "Can the lizard climb the rainbow?"

Answers to these intriguing philosophical questions on a postcard please.  Or on a postcard wrapped round a nice block of cheese.
