Saw this slogan outside a gift shop yesterday:
"Pichkaaris available for cheap prices"
Was shocked though I knew it couldn't mean what it looked like.
A friend then explained that Pichkaari is a device used to spray Holi colors!
I still find the sound of that word very funny! :-D
For those who don't know thamizh, "pichkaari" means "beggar woman".

Pichkaari in hindi means to let out a spray of anything water, color etc so I don't think this word is funny...
