2.Ghoda, tapori , khoka, kauva, chhaavi : Slang words used by the various Bhais that Mumbai is notorious for ...ghoda is gun, tapori is no good guy,kohka is crore, kauva is a cell phone and chhaavi is girl friend.
3. Town: Town does not refer to some place out of city, but refers to the portion of Mumbai south of Mahalakshmi Race Course.This set of Mumbaikar's like to refer to themselves as townies and pretend to ignore the rest of the city.
4. Pandu: The traffic constable is fondly called Pandu or Mamu.5. Vaat : totally screwed !!
