'goodly spoken' English
in Improving English Writing Skills
English in South Asia is unique. The Hindi, Tamil and other south Asians have developed their own unique idioms that are foreign to Queen English. If you irritate some one by asking too many questions, you 'ate his head'.

    It becomes good English when such phrases are used which have some indirect meaning.

    In Hindi- Mera sir kha liya- is okay. But literal translation in English is funny. Literal translation from English to Hindi is also funny some times.

    Ha hA ha!! Eating someone's head is a good one!
    Also, something that we used a lot while I was in college (they still say it)

    "Dimaag ki dahi mat kar"" literal translation would be - don't make curds out of my brains! :laugh:

    HA ha ha! Swetha, I would like to call that poetic justice! Murder of english language to avenge murders by British of numerous Indians! :woohoo:
