You know the rule. If you meet someone who speaks a different language, you teach them all the slang from your native tongue.
In an episode of 'Slang School' for Vanity Fair, Pakistani-American comedian Kumail Nanjiani really wowed us with his Urdu slang. He sat with co-star, Natalie Morales from their upcoming movie, Stuber and exchanged each other's cultural slang:
This one's a good one! Could've taken it up a notch and added 'Meray Aziz' at the end.
Don't we all love this one though
But hey, since when does 'chikna' mean attractive? We never thought of it as a compliment as such...
Kumail, whaaat?
Natalie actually ended up explaining to him why 'dhakan' means what it does
Mind = blown!
Surprisingly, the Spanish actress was quite good at guessing what the words meant!
Haven't used this one in a while, thanks for bringing it back on our radars.
