So goes the song and along with it the whiteness of the school uniform. In what is arguably the greatest advertising coup ever, mothers throughout the length and breadth of India in the 90s were convinced that washing their kids' white uniform with blue ink will make the clothes look even whiter. Many a school going kid has endured insufferable misery from their class teacher as a result of this miracle fabric 'whitener' that made everybody look like the peon's son.
Usage
Son : Mummy, use Surf Excel or Ariel mummy. Pleeaaasee Mummy. They are white in colour so if you use them my shirt will be white again. If you use Ujala, it'll become blue like all my other shirts.

Hence, we decide to build flyovers so that we can create a nuisance to all commuters during the 10 years it takes to build a flyover. (That itself is lucky. You must have done some punya in your past life). And once the flyover is built, we have a traffic jam on the flyover so that everyone is happy. Flyovers also serve another very useful purpose - for the people on the 1st floor whose homes are less than 1 inch from the flyover, it is a convenient place to hang one's clothes to dry whenever there is excess laundry which is quite common considering our fondness for functions. And speaking of functions, no mention of flyovers is complete without a word on the inauguration function. The only time when there is no traffic jam on the flyover is when the chief minister who is inaugurating the flyover cuts the ribbon and rides on it with his 20 car convoy.

Logonathan : Good, now my journey to office will take 1 hour instead of 20 mins. I finally feel like an IT guy.

What it is?? None of them can give a shock to electric current I say. The one and only Captain Vijaykanth can do that. Also, if James Bond can fight badass villains without so much as getting a wrinkle on his tuxedo, our Captain can fight do pulti and thulp goondas without his lungi ever falling off (Thank God !).
Usage
Vijaykanth : You can call me Captain, Karuppu MGR or Puratchi Kalaignar if you can pronounce it.

It kind of makes sense because if one is willing to immerse oneself into the world's largest sewer out of their own volition, then it can be safely assumed that they repent for whatever they may have done. So God is happy and holds no further grudges.

Thatha : First you go to kitchen and bring me my kaapi, then we'll see.

For the benefit of desi people from the rest of the country who have no clue what I just said, the tappan koothu is a coundry dance done by porki fellows in Tamil Nadu to loud drum beats. It is performed to mark any occasion - birth, puberty, SSLC pass, marriage and even death.
If classic dance forms like Bharatnatyam, Kathak etc are white swans, then the tappan koothu is the ugly duckling.
(We have a variant of this under dappan koothu walso.)
Usage
Arun : Aiicchhh, what is that noise?
Logonathan : Somebody died. Come, lets join them and do tappan koothu
Arun : Thu, galeej fellow.

Here is the setting: Ultra-conservative tambrahm household, with strict fother, sweet mother, granny and small child. Child's with innocent aasai asks mother to make pijja (too much exposure to American culture, abishtoo abishtoo !). Mother, with lots of love makes pijja on dosa kal (how is that possible? thatandoldonask !!) and sprinkles the secret ingredient that makes a pizza truly awesome, Tata salt (screw you and your mozarella, you bloody Italians!). Now it is time for the agni pariksha. Pin-drop silence, finger on the lips, as fother puts one piece of pijja in his mouth and starts chewing. Suspense is unbearable for mother and the child. Then granny, with nearly 60 years of kitchen wisdom asks 'Uppu kaaram ellam seriya (ok)?'. Finally, fother says 'Shabaash!'. Mother and child are happy. Tata salt has saved the day ! Hooray !

Husband : Not ok, instead of salt you put sugar.
