Time for some Buzzwords!

Mokka--- The latest buzz word, the pulse of chennai rather..I call it the pulse of this terrific city, cus its used 'n' times in 'n' different contexts by 'n' chennaites everyday.Too mathematical, isn't it;) Well, for people who don't know tamil, mokka technically speaking means nothing more than a very bad pj. One rule of the thumb to be followed while using this buzzword as a part of an english sentence is that u can only 'put' mokka and not 'say' a mokka (check the verbal usage!) . I don't know who framed this rule, but that is how you are expected to use it! The same word can be used as an adjective as well. For ex, 'it was a mokka trip' .So here, w.r.t this sentence 'mokka' means boring. one word, that can be an adjective and also a verb. Kinda complex rite? But the worst part is that I cannot form one single decent sentence these days without this golden word!The word mokka has found so much of prominence not only in my life, but in the tamil world on the whole, to such an extent that irrespective of whether u crack a good joke or not, people term it a mokka. Everything on earth is a mokka.. A good joke, a bad joke, a concept, an advice, a fact,whatever. So the best way to conceal the fact that you don't really understand what somebody is trying to say, is to call it a mokka! cool idea, rite(now dont call this one a mokka;)). One cool icy word that can camouflage w.r.t context!Great, isnt it?
