Interesting. When I was young, my grandmother used to tell me the names given to different villages in Goa apart from their official names. They were called "aade nanvam". For Eg. Mollgoankar were called Indur. (People in Margao were called Rats). Another village was associated to being Pixe (Mentally unsound to put it lightly).
Also, short and stocky people were called Banauleche Kouvate. Were the coconut trees in Belaulim always short ? Can someone provide the sobriquets (?) for other villages ?
