I got an exam tomorrow, but seeing as how I love my alma mater so much, I took a break and jotted down some of the words we used to use in school. It's a dying language so you gotta represent and start re-using the words anywhere and anytime you can.
Punt off : get lost, fuck off
Ex: These juniors were bugging me so I told them to punt off.
Go Hang: get lost, go die
Ex: Go hang macha! Nothing you know
Cack: shit, feces, turds
Ex: The bogs were so full of cack I couldn’t even take a dump macha.
Sneak: to complain about someone to brothers, teachers etc
Ex: I bunked out of campus to buy kottu from Muruga Bhavan, but Arokyam saw me and sneaked to Princi.
Bogs: Toilets
Eg: Don’t irritate man. Go hang in the bogs!
Charmettes: area of school which now houses the tennis courts. Used to be full of cows eating grass and shitting dung.
Ex: We were smoking this one time in Charmettes and almost got caught.
Matey: Montfort waiters
Ex: We bribed this matey so he would give our table extra chicken every Thursday. And lots of dosas.
Bugger: a guy, any guy, random guy
Ex: Guy 1: That bugger’s gay man.
Guy 2: Aren’t they all?
Thugged: Failed a subject
Ex: “This term I’m definitely thugging atleast three subjects man.”
“ Did you hear about that bugger? He could have got 1st rank, but he thugged in art.”
Thulp: thrash the living daylights out of
Ex: This one time Frenchie thulped me so bad I couldn’t stand, sit or eat for three days.
Fudge: copy during exam
Ex: This bugger got caught by Adrian for fudging and got majorly thulped.
Bio was minding the exam hall, so every fucker was fudging and passing bits left and right.
Bit: miniature paper used to copy during exams, usually hid in shoes, socks, pencil boxes, underwear, in sleeve, written on hand. Also bits of paper, erasers containing answers passed around during exams.
Ex:This bugger knew that Bella had seen him take out his bit. So he swallowed it and pretended ignorance when Bella came round and did a body search on him.
More to come later. This is the first of a two part series. If you think I missed out anything, do let me know. Examples would be great.
Mist,horses, SHY girls, Aeroplane stream, punt off, tennis tournaments,Lady's Seat, Bro. Basilio, bogs, SSGY Fete, Mam, bunking, school round, warm-up, Sunday walk,Padma Stores, House picnics, Berry's trumpets, Scout/NCC camps, Bella, those glorious chappattis, Bear's Hill, soccer in the rain, batch names, batch fights, Shakes(Escrader), Socials, Link, Montfort chits, Mayfield, loads of cows, Dhobies, Bio (porumai), boxing. The days of our lives, resurrected.

Does anybody know wat "thrice born" meant. Realy didnt get the meaning then. Some claimed it was christ born. wtf??

Here's more:
Fadafut: Broke down or didn't work out well. "Hey, how's did your exams go?" "It went fadafut"!
Hey dude, nice site you got goin on!
Really brought back some memories.
Just thought of another slang,"Jango Boy", a sort of threatning stance before a fight broke out.As in "so you think you are a Jango boy, you thrice born..."
Also had a feeling you were going to bring up Frenchie and Suresh Babu's names in a possible replica of the Columbine incident.I think you forgot to mention another trigger finger brother...Devasey!!! On a cold wet morn at the pool, he once went around with one canes in each hand, something like 'Black Mamba' from Kill Bill vol 1
How about sweet buns? There were some famous pairs!!
Hey you forgot... "HEIGHT's OF YOU MAN !" :)
