Centiflat : "cent percent" flattened.
Soleil Posted on 21-Oct-02 06:53 AM

Folks, here are some that I know:

Jhoorest (the worst)
Raddeez (the bad)
Twaating (drinking alchohol)

Dunno if the following could be considered in the category, but we had been hearing them almost all our lives. Haven't we? Maybe just a bad pronounciation?

Falatin (flannel)
Cutrise (Corduroy)
Polishtar(Polyester)
Tyaam (time)
Jografi (Geography)
Jometri (Geometry)
Yellarji (Allergy)

And, heard these new words, though still in English, not really coined but Nepalification of the English words:

Any Time Money (ATM=Automated Teller Machine)
End of Thinking Capacity (etc= et cetera)
