Some of the stuff our parents come out with never fails to crack us up.. mostly down to it being so over the top and some of it just plain weird!!!.. and lets be honest.. alot of it just doesnt make any sense whatsoever...
eventho im sure this group applies to most people from the asian subcontinent.. pakistani, indian, bengali etc... its written in the punjabi spoken by people from the mirpur/ pakistan kashmir area... (with english translation)
Add any lines that have been used to abuse YOU...
ISNEY NAAL MEH KEH KARA? SARACH MAARA?
(what do you want me to do with this? hit my head with it?)..... talk about being over dramatic
MEH THARI CHAMRI LAI SORSA
(i will take your skin off)..... oh my god..
BADAAM KAYA KAR... QOI THAAKATH PEH
(eat some almonds.. so that you get some strength into you)..... i challenge all asian parents to provide emperical evidence for this
APNI SHAKAL THAK
(look at your face)..... normally used the day after a late night
SAREH NE UPAR
(on your head)..... typical answer when askin your mum where shall i put this
CHAA BANAA
(go make tea)..... probably the most common phrase to come out of parents mouths.. normally reserved for the females in the families.. heaven forbid that the son should ever be asked
BANDEH KEY AHSAN
(what will people say)..... the second most common phrase.. used in all scenarios.. parents constantly put the opinions of the community before the feelings of their own offspring
MI JANA THEYA WEH NA?!
(Do you know who i am?!)..... no, who is this strange man standing before me.. old skool mirpuri threat
SIMON KARI RYA WEH?
(have you finished all your uni assignments).....

(you try to go out today and see if i dont break your legs)..... the extreme way of making sure your child does not leave the house.. disable him for life

(be a man)..... i.e. stop acting like an animal
HUKOO!! MARA MAGZH NA KA

THORA WAAZ KAR.. HEH KANJAR NA KAAR NI
(lower the volume! this is not a man ***** house)..... hahaha... whats that about??!
MEH THARIYA PASLIYA NI PANYA THEY MARA NA SAJID NI
(if i dont break your bones my name is not *insert parents name*)..... if only child services understood punjabi
RAATHI KUSNEY NAAL GALLA KARNA SE
(who were you on the phone to last night)..... parents have a 6th sense of knowing when their child is speakin to a member of the opposite sex no matter what the time
KUDHAR JULYA WEH... KEREY TAYM WAAPAS AYSE... KUN KUN JAASI... KUN GADI CHALAASI
(where are you going... what time will you be back... who else is going.. who is driving)..... parents require a full itinerary before you leave the house.. even if it is only a trip down to the cornershop.. also you can never be too old for this
RASHID NA PUTHAR/THEE....

HEH KEH THAKNA PYA WEH.. UNEH BANDH KAR
(what do you think youre watching?!.. switch it off now!)..... anytime something remotely to do with u no wat comes on tv.. also applies to B4U music
and the king of classic one-liners:
KAAR JAAI THEY THAKEE.. MEH THARA KE HAAL BANANA
(wait till you get home.. see what i do to you)..... the line that all asian kids dread to hear... strikes fear deep into the heart... this is the ultimate killer line
My heart, so precious,
I won't trade for a hundred thousand souls.
Your one smile takes it for free.Rumi
(wait till you get home.. see what i do to you)..... the line that all asian kids dread to hear... strikes fear deep into the heart... this is the ultimate killer line

i read them to my mum and we both laughed and she told me to add 1 she says more often, which is;
"try doing that in your husbands house/with your husband/your in laws"
The amount of times i hear this everyday :
This can refer to any action like being lazy, watching t.v, doing anything wrong, they threaten you with your married life lol.
haha yup ... never get tired of hearing that one
''Let the days do as they please,
And be optimistic when destiny decrees,
Do not despair due to the events of nights past
For the events of this world were not meant to last.”
Lol I've definately heard sum of these before another most commonly used 'Meh tere kaleji/jaan kad charniah (I'm gonna remove your liver (kaleji) or i'm gonna take the life (jaan) out of you) LOL!!!
OH! My! Days!
