Different Expressions

[Bundha]

The Nihang Singhs also have code words for different things.

Like potatoes are called anday (eggs) and batau (aubergines) are called battaray (some sort of animal like a gopher, I think), a donkey is called a thanay Dhaar (some police official), going to the toilet is ‘madhaan marran chulla’, and everyone is a kuchaa-pilla.

Let me tell the shardaaloos a fact, it is loon and not noon.

Noon = wrong = 0/1 = 0% = F

Loon = right = 1/1 = 100% = A+

Which one do you want??

100% or 0%.

With all these pronounciation problems is it any wonder the youth (including me) know very little Punjabi?

Loon now called Noon? Perhaps this is part of the evolution of Punjabi language? Maybe in a hundred years' time, no one knows what "loon" is but they all know what "noon" is?
