Of course, this has mostly to do with the inclination to sound cool and appealing through an affinity for a linguistic style (tashan) that is accepted as a funda (mannerism) that is hip, especially in contemporary societies in India. Words like tashan and funda are popular across the Indian college student community. Ishtyle, Ishtory, and Ishtars are considered hip pronunciations for style, story and stars respectively. The roots of these lie largely in the Bombay underworld, which is, for better or worse, glorified in the movies. The Munnabhai film series used similar lingo in a refreshing sense.
I am still amazed at how frequently some of us use fotos, muzik, trailerz, dis (instead of this), dat, etc. as acceptable e-mail and instant message words. I don't like them, but I appreciate where the filmmakers are going with this, given the primary target audience.
Or subtitles :-)
Its a malaise I tell you. I often shudder reading email from the under 25 crowd in India.
That said, I do enjoy LOLcats because I've always assumed they're sarcastic - if perhaps played out by now. The genius thing about them is that the text is so contained and constrained: it's not paragraphs, just a sentence at most. I've often considered some filmi LOL captions. On my post about a Tashan outfit at Bollywood Fugly, maybe I should have written: "Suspenderz: ur doin it wrong."
Recently I was chatting with a colleague who has just graduated from college. We were talking about music and without thinking I said "I remember that song from college. Lord I'm old." He replied "How old are you?" I said "33" and he said "OMG, no way, I thought you were like 27 - you're so lively."
Please?
I wonder if I will be more or less lively....:D

-ramchandra- - Brilliant!
Anne - Leave the teeth! I like them! But please never compare my beloved Bebo to Cher ever again. Ewwwww. But anyway, yeah, everyone should get to eat, especially when they dance for part of their livelihood.
