Re: [Goanet] Times into vulgar language --- Youths thrash cops

I'm not a linguist, but know of no other Indian language that has so celebrated and glorified a human being's humble pubic hair in its idiom as our own, Konknni. I agree, the Konknni adages that do that appear 'colourful' superficially, but on second reading, bring out the full flavour of
