DESI PAK
The technique used to cram entire extended families into a single Ambassador or Bajaj. Related expression in Hindi: ‘ghusna,’ to squeeze in quickly, quietly and off the books before the train leaves, your shady money-making scheme is shut down or the government babu cuts off the subsidies. Not to be confused with ‘Pak Desi.’
PERFORMANCE PACKAGING
I don’t suppose they’re referring to latex. No s-hecks please, we’re desi.
HARMLESS
Harmless, fatalist and philosophical. A non-conquering, non-converting subcontinent with a Hindu rate of growth and long, whinging, political addas. Then everyone goes home and returns the current party to power.
ADSORBENT
Attracts liquids — either Old Monk or Señor Walker.
DO NOT EAT
Please do not eat the desis.
(UNLESS WE BEG FOR IT)
It’s all good then.
