10 Most Used Delhi Slangs You Come Across Everyday | Part 2

Table of Contents

Ever wonder what is the best part of living in Delhi and what makes it so special and different from other populations of India?  When you start exploring this city,  you will be amazed by their way of expressing love and friendship through the medium of Delhi slang. Besides a lot of other stuff, the capital of India is famous for its slangs. Delhi slangs are a perfect blend of affection and blunt shade of wildness. After blending in its culture and slangs, people usually conclude with these lines “ye dilli h yar dil le kr hi manegi!”

This article has picked some trendy and basic Delhi slangs . Let’s have a look at  Delhi’s one of the proudest creation – its slangs.

“Life me bade tantey ho rakhe hai yar ”, This Delhi slang basically means problems and issues happening in life. Every delhite has a lot of ‘tantey’ regardless any situation. Delhi is full of drama , no wonder why this slang is so  frequently used.

Chomu refers to someone who is an innocent cum foolish person who doesn’t know how to tackle the worldly conspiracies. Sometimes lingo is also used for skinny as rail people. In short, this Delhi slang means someone who doesn’t fit in fashion.

• Bhais ki aakh

Before thinking about this Delhi slang let me tell you don’t take it in the literal sense. ‘Bhais ki aakh’ is an alternative for oh my God for a true delhite. Living in Delhi, you can always find one or the other saying this because this city is full of surprises and shocks!

“Yar us bande ne BT dedi” , quite striking sentence for every delhite. When the world started welcoming abbreviated form of words, why should Delhites remain behind? Delhi slang added BT in its vocabulary, stands for a bad trip, meaning when someone or something goes wrong. Special note: don’t try to give delhite a ‘BT’!

• Falana dhamkana

This is another term for blah blah. Delhites are mostly in a hurry and they don’t wish  to explain each and every bit instead they prefer using this slang and end their part. They believe in seedhi baat no bakwas theory!

What a non-delhite notices here, this is more a kind of convention of delhites and not just a Delhi slang . They have a habit of putting dio/lio on the verge of every sentence. “bhai proxy lgwa dio”, “ye kam kar lio”, this dialect is somehow inherited in their tongue.

• Gedi maarna

Mirza Asadullah once quoted “what is Delhi? She replied: the world is the body and Delhi its life.” One may not be born at this place, like me, but as soon as you started loving Delhi and of course its slangs, you will also feel “Delhi hai dilwalo ki.” May you initially find these slangs a bit awkward but sooner or later they will automatically fall on your tongue. This is the craziness of Delhi slangs.

“BC Kya Yaar, BT Matt De”: Unearthing The Delhi Lingo

The Delhi lingo, somehow becomes an all encompassing medium of interaction amongst the people of Delhi.

Having lived in Delhi all my life, I have grown up with certain specific words being spoken around me. Growing up in a Punjabi household has made me observe the gradual creeping in of the language into the language of Delhi, along with certain Haryanvi influences as well.

This has ultimately resulted in the formation of what we call today as ‘The Delhi Lingo’.

A part of what constitutes this unique language, is the fact that Delhi borders Haryana and UP.

Through essentially Noida, Gurgaon, and Faridabad, Delhi transforms into Delhi NCR, which perhaps too, leads to permeation of local words and phrases.

Delhi, being a metropolitan city, witnesses a large chunk of migrants from all across the country, thereby contributing to its heterogeneity. 

In spite of coming from different ethnicities and cultures, the people who settle in Delhi, ultimately take to the lingo, easily making it their own.

There are certain terms and phrases which uncharacteristically scream ‘Delhi’. So here’s a closer look at what constitutes this semi-Punjabi-Haryanvi-Delhi lingo. 

BHAI and BHAIYA

In the unique language of Delhi, ‘bhai’ can be used to refer to anyone from a good male friend to a close female friend. A gender-specific term in Hindi becomes gender neutral when spoken in the context of the Delhi lingo.

‘Bhaiya’ interestingly is used in a somewhat different context. Everyone, ranging from the local vegetable vendor to the autowallah is a ‘bhaiya’.

A Punjabi word by origin, ‘vella’ refers to anyone who is jobless or has nothing constructive to do. People who while away their time or do mundane things are often called ‘vella’. They’re then promptly told to “get a life”.

‘Scene’ in the Delhi lingo, can be used in two ways: one being referred to as the plan of action and the other being referred to as a major problem or issue.

‘Chep’ essentially refers to anyone who is being uncharacteristically clingy at awkward times and attempts to indulge in unwanted conversations.

The term ‘bhasad’ is used to describe large crowds in the context of the Delhi lingo.

‘ Jugaad’ is perhaps one of the most commonly used words in Delhi. It essentially means having a temporary fix for everything. It is based on the creativity of the mind and is usually induced due to the paucity of time.

This word too, reeks of Delhi. It’s perhaps the most difficult to define. ‘Chaud’ is more a feeling than anything else. It is used to define a notion of extreme attitude, due to certain achievements either by moral or self-induced virtue.

Contrary to the English language context of the word ‘sir’ which is marked by respect towards the male person being referred to, in the Delhi lingo, it is marked by giving respect to another person, usually sarcastically or as a substitute to ‘bhai’.

‘Gedi’ refers to mindless loitering, around a place, mostly without an ultimate goal or agenda in mind.

‘Jhak’ is an interesting one. It refers to fulfillment of unfruitful tasks which are essentially not important.

BANDA and BANDI

The words ‘banda’ and ‘bandi’ literally mean ‘boy’ and ‘girl’ respectively in Hindi. However, in the context of the Delhi lingo, they refer to someone’s ‘boyfriend’ and ‘girlfriend’ respectively.

These are some of the everyday terms that form a part of the ever so out-of-the-box Delhi lingo.

Other words among this dictionary are BHAND, meaning drunk or high, THULLA , meaning cop, TOTTA , meaning a hot girl, BT, meaning bad trip and lastly, the huge collection of swear words or ‘ GAALIS’.

Somehow, all these slangs find a place for themselves amongst the MCs, BCs and “Tu jaanta nahi mera baap kaun hai”.

While there is much more to the Hindi or rather ‘Hinglish’ that is spoken in Delhi, these words are merely a part of what provides the language with a distinct identity.

The Delhi lingo, somehow becomes an all encompassing medium of interaction amongst the people of Delhi. It provides an uncanny uniformity to the otherwise diverse nature of the capital city.
