We’ve got a bunch and the ones that annoy the weans, like calling Jalapeños Jalpaneros in public, are our favourites.

    This is hilarious. Movies are called ‘fillum’ in India as well. It’s practically a word in Hindi.

      Gujarati too. All my rellies who grew up in India say fillum. After dating an Irishman for more years than I care to remember, it’s funny how much Indians and Irish have in common (we keep the plastic on everything too).

        Interestingly, in southern India (below Maharashtra & MP) they’re called ‘fillim’ .

        “the plastic on everything” is too real. Do they also store away plastic bags in one plastic bag and stuff that bag behind some door?

          Yeah, we have a bag of bags lol In fact I have some old bags under my mattress! I don’t really use them anymore since I moved to reusables.

          One thing I don’t think the Irish do is keep a suitcase of fabric under the bed/on top of a wardrobe.

          There was a good sketch about it on Goodness Gracious Me, the “Bharrat Homes” one. Too true!
