You get the general picture, don’t you? Now, if you have any questions or doubts regarding this beautiful language, we’ll be happy to answer them for you.

Q: What is the correct grammatical usage of ‘puts with’?

A: This is a handy phrase used to denote the act of fornication.

Eg. “Jennifer is pregnant.” “Oh good, who did she puts with?”


Q. Which of these is correct: “Ekta Kapoor is maajarly cup-level” or “Krish Srikkanth is hajjaar warrashsht”?

A: Both are. Also, alternatively, you could use “Ekta Kapoor and Krish Srikkanth are shady junta.”


Q. I majored in English and I strongly believe that the plural of ‘funda’ is ‘fundae’ and not ‘fundaes’ as you have wrongly mentioned. What do you have to say to that, mister?

A. Whoever put fundaes on English to you was ob cup-level. Now stop paining and pack.


Q. Is there any difference between “Maajar” and “hajjaar”?

A. Ob. The word ‘maajar’ can be used while dealing with military matters such as: “Maajar Ram Prasad Sharma put pseud-value by putting victory against the terrorist junta” whereas ‘hajjaar’ should be used only to describe things that are ‘hajjaar’ something.

Eg. I had hajjaar beard. So I put shave.
