It wasn't bollywood that promoted this stereotype. Our own lot were full on complicit with it. That's where you keep showing some mental shyte. You're (like me) old enough to remember the 80s/90s. Hordes of our lot defined themselves by that balle balle peasant shyte. Look at Candian juts, they still do! Plus the stereotype of angreezis of Sikhs was the opposite to what you are saying. Loyal, docile, teetotal fudhus, who'd take 'amrit' based around giving loyalty to some morbidly obese english maharani. Panjabi blokes swear big time. That's fact. It's not like I made this rule up myself. But please don't insult my intelligence and try and deny my (and many others) experience of decades of mixing/working with my own people. I can deal with reality. Try it yourself.

I'm glad someone has kept that old school vibe alive myself. Love Paul man.

Well maybe you need to realise you are in a minority in your culture? That has jettisoned a big part of your culture (for the better I'm sure). But being in denial of the truth doesn't help. Plus, it's just cultural norms. It's not my culture, so don't shoot the messenger please. Plus you are likely to end up doing what my moms did, and have sons that are unprepared for real life with Panjabis, if they ever experience it. Luckily, I got caught up quick when relatively young.

Agreed, swearing is not really necessary and like a lot of things, it's just because of habit more than anything Also, @dallysingh101 - can you leave out this 'jut'/'jatt'-bashing business and referencing? It's quite tiring

Whether you like it or not, that's what commonly goes on. And before you go on all high and mighty, I know many females, when out of the men's ear shots will talk some serious filth too. I grew up single parent with a mother, so I probably grew up like you, not hearing swearing, but once I turned a teenager and went into the working world, I soon woke up to reality. This is what rural Panjabis are like, most especially Juts. There is A LOT of swearing and the convo is more likley to be about 'bhunds' than rainbows and unicorns for some reason....... I remember being an impressionable 15 year old, coming back from work, and (like you'd expect) mimicking the olders I'd been working with at home with the language, including swearing like them. Then my mother turning around to me and saying words to the effect of: "Now you've worked with them for a few months, you're talking like a typical Jut!" You're probably not wrong. That's probably what makes it so hilarious and entertaining? I'm not encouraging it, just telling it like it is. PS - I think blokes doing bhangra with the full colourful get up, including long skirts and Cheshire cat grins, makes them look a thousand times more buffonish than this.

Takes an old school geezer to say things out straight! lol
