[edit] GLJ
An unsourced article on a non-notable neologism. Contested prod. MER-C 03:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. I consider it likely that this is, instead, a hoax. Jan Mohammad is a linguist ... at the University of Arizona. I find no evidence suggesting he published Urdu and Cute Idioms or anything similar. This seems to be an inside joke of some sort by a couple of LUMS students.

- Delete per above. In addition, does an Urdu neologism even belong in the english wikipedia? --Work permit 08:12, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Neologism and/or hoax. /Blaxthos 16:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete The phrase by itself is not a hoax and is commonly used amongst urdu/hindi speakers. But Mr. Jan Mohammad, his authored book(s) and the story about the phrase definitely is a hoax. The joke seems to be on a student named Jan Mohammad who uses the term under discussion quite often. I am a LUMS student myself and do get how this is an insiders joke. --farqis 16:38, 8 May 2007
- With this in mind, can this be speedied G10? Serpent's Choice 11:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
