We all really had fun in IIT isn't it. Most funny part was the names we used to call each other or denote some lecturer. Names that were weird & unknown were invented by some gurudev in the class & was spread by the word of mouth.


The words were so powerful that students still remember it & recite it....So, do you remember any?

Do share it??

IIT's not only nourish brilliant student in studies, but there were also some students who did Phd in flirting. They were the love guru's of that batch or class.

Flirting & making a girl accept the proposal was a piece of cake for them. They were honoured by the name Lassu.

Good one...well thought :)

Add your argument:

Baikait, Chaapu, Bhokaal

Ya, I remember some...these were used as positive terms meaning someone outstanding. Anybody who was very good in something was given these names. But the exciting part was people started remembering them by these names.

This I guess many would have heard about. It sounds like somebody carrying a mug & will drain water whenever & wherever required. Yes, you are right...this was the name given to those who used to swallow the entire book & vomit whenever asked.

Maggu....Maggu

A best way to tell somebody who got screwed by his faculies or friends. This was the most funny word as everybody used to make fun when anybody got screwed from the HOD.

Haha.......

At times when absurd, senseless, idiotic, ... and, of course, arbitrary seemed a bit too long to fit in, "arbit" came in handy. It made a good qualifier to many other colorful words ... arbit funda, arbit kholu, etc.

What an arbit idea, sir ji!

I also remember a word & it means that someone did something outstanding. Some people also used words like  Baikati/Bhokaali macha di, etc.

Those days were wonderful & I miss those words also.
