Truck drivers and auto rickshaw fans in India are a colourful lot who are determined to extract every last drop of comedy out of life. They express their humorous flare by proudly displaying funny slogans on the backs of their vehicles.?
When these trucks decked with hilarious inscriptions roll by on a highway, you're bound to giggle or crack a smile at least.
Recently, a truck driver stole the show with a rather unusual message that had everyone in stitches. The usage of 'Hinglish' in the message reminded us of our middle school attempts at linguistic acrobatics¡ªoh, the nostalgia!
If it doesn't seem familiar, the now-viral image will certainly send you down memory lane. The statement on the vehicle was humorously translated from 'Buri nazar wale tera muh kaala'--a term commonly used to ward off evil eye and envy--to the hilarious 'Bad nazar wale your face will be black.'
X user @swatic12 shared the photo on the micro-blogging site 'X' with the caption: "When a North Indian wants to throw shade but realizes he is in Bangalore," and the internet went crazy.
Commentators were eager to join in the fun, with one asking, "Bad Face Nazar, will Wale be your black - I didn't get it even in Hinglish." Another jokingly replied, "When you return to India after 6 months on-site." Meanwhile, a third contributor joked, "Abuse ka tarika thoda casual nahi hai?".?
Meanwhile, in another funny incident of being lost in translation, another message put everyone's linguistic skills to the test. Only those familiar with the Indian knack for literal translation from Hindi to English could solve it.?
The statement humorously proclaimed, "Money doesn't matter, but people do." Prepare for hilarity and 'LOLs'! The post quickly went viral, and the phrase "Solid, Liquid, Gas is also the matter" added to the overall comedy.??
