Pejorative phrase meaning "damaged goods". Also referred to as Painted and Dented by those unfamiliar with gujjris.

Apparently a way of describing any woman who is not a sati savitri and who therefore must be a ultra-fast POMO chick of some sort. Though why one would compare ladice of any type to used goods is beyond comprehension.

The term is perhaps derived from the "make-up" that needs to be applied before selling a "banged-up" gaddi on the second-hand market. Imagine buying a "lightly used" Yezdi for sale in a chor bazaar. The chalu seller hides the dent with the paint and with a straight face say it's first class and jugaad-free. Such must be the attitude of any woman standing up against the excessive bandobast in Delhi today. Whattey naansense, I say!

Popularized by our very own Pranab da's very own Bangla son: Abhijit Mukherjee, one can also say it refers to the anachronistic and chauvinistic Uncleji ideologies that passes off as cultural leadership in India today.

With specimens like this as prominent netas and law makers, it may just be time for aam aadmi put on a monkey cap and pray to Hey Bhagwan for this world to end.

Derived from the Kannada phrase "sum-sumne" meaning, er, simp-simply

one of a giant class of South Indian English phrases that make no sense in English and have to be translated into Kannada, or Tamil to make sense.

Modern maappillai . Under Condom theory this is the theoretical and actual anti-particle to the POMO Chick .

It is similar to the Pomo chick in mass-energy, but opposed on all other dimensions like spin, charge, literary pretensions, movement in space-time, and willingness to tolerate general or moral relativism.

Both POMO chick and Mo-pillai are produced by accelerating Jesuit theology to high velocity and colliding it with TamBrahm strictures in single-sex convented environments otherwise known as the LHC or Large Hard-on Colluder. Yield is enhanced by putting both particles through a sequence of expensive lau failures. The collisions produces a matched pair of POMO chick and Mo-pillai who depart to opposite ends of the universe at great velocity but in opposite ideological directions. One particle is moving forward in time and the other is moving backward, but sadly due to general and moral relativity one is unable to determine which is which.

Examples of movement in space time, showing Condom coupling

Pomo chicks: St. Stephens/LSR --> LSE --> Gayathri Spivak--> useless liberal arts degree --> jhola + cause --> angrily liberate the females

Mopillai: REC Guindy --> Illinois Insititute of Technology --> Freidrich Hayek --> useless engineering degree --> mortgage + stock options --> angrily enforce the patriarchy

The particles cyclically recollide every winter at Recyclotron (otherwise known as Bangalore Club, or Tamil-matrimony.com) spitting off a random collection of quirks (top, bottom, charm, strange etc.) , leapt-on jokes and of course the elusive Higgs Boozon.

The ultimate fate of the POMO chick and the Mo-pillai is to demolish each other in a spectacular bout of radiation annihilation otherwise known as a semi-arranged lau marriage.

New fangled beast where a boy or girl goes through a modern NSA dating cycle, albeit filtering dating partner through some bizarre set of traditional conventions like caste, language, community, kula, gothra, vamsha, nakshatra etc.
