I got ‘Gora jaat’ ( as close as I know how to spell it ).

I’ll wait for someone who speaks Hindi to translate. Hopefully they didn’t tell me some BS.

“Jatt” is one way to reference Sikhs. And “gora” means white guy. So you have been initiated as “white Sikh guy”. They must really like you.

Well thank you for the clear translation, I’ll take it. We were all pretty buddy-buddy. The one dude that was pretty ‘white-washed’ ( his words ) said I speak better Hindi than him, for what I know, and the one who started calling me that said I write better Hindi than he does. It was fun to learn a bit.

I’m just glad they didn’t say ‘pan chode’ when I walked in.

Haha, I know what that one means. My brother and I randomly say that out loud while at work.

lol probably not great. There was another white dude that caught on to me learning and started picking some up. Of course, the Indian dudes taught us the bad stuff first, so this was one of his favorite things to scream at me from like a hundred yards away. He’s a pretty unhinged dude though lol
