Easy French words accepted as it is in English dictionary-albeit with a little variation in usage.

Sans : Without (pronounced as सां in French). In French also same meaning.
deja vu = something one is sure to have already witnessed experienced. Literal meaning in French is "already seen"
beau: A male escort/boyfriend of a girl. In French literal meaning is "handsome" - antonym of "belle" which is used for beautiful in French

Splice
The haryanvi metaphor of punjhad paadna(ripping the tale out) is difficult to apply literally on animals like mehns(buffalo) since their tale is perfectly spliced with their body.

Inert,Metamorphosis,Beau,Vortex
My buffalo became fat and inert and was not giving proper amount of milk.Baba Ramdev suggested some yoga exercises for her and after doing those for quite some time there has been a metamorphosis in her physical appearance from the earlier one and her beau(Shera) is paying much more attention towards her.The sizzling avatar of her has created vortex among all the male buffaloes of the village.

"To be or not to be" is the opening line of Shakespeare's play - Hamlet. I just googled it and it means 'indecision'. When a person is not sure which side to take.

Regards,

Urmila.

Yes Urmila ji, you are right. In fact it was a suicidal statement of Hamlet when he considered himself a useless fellow because of his inability to take revenge of his father's murder by his uncle who wanted to be a king. He was in a dilemma whether to remain alive or not.

Since this thread is related to English Proverbs,I wonder if anyone could write some Sidhuisms(proverbs from the mouth of Navjot Sidhu) in this thread or maybe start a new thread coz they are the best and awesome as well as agrestic in nature.Sidhu is well renowned for those.And also it's high time to keep a note of Sidhuisms since IPL season is going on and he is being asked to SPEAK..Boy that man loves speaking..
Probably the only one who could give Obama a run for his money when it comes to being a great orator.
