OT: Famous Pakistani originated blags

[lefty]

Let's hear em!

[MIG]

Can I ask a silly question, whats a blag ?

[lefty]

ooooh....now if I reveal that....

[Aristotle]

well i hope you don't get banned!

[lefty]

oi khansahb....thanks a lot!

[Aristotle]

ok here goes...an all time classic which i've heard about 50 variations of is how when the great nusrat fateh ali khan was being buried;

i - apparently a snake came & bit his tongue off!

ii - his own tongue came out & strangled him!

iii - his grave kept chucking him out!

& Talking of graves, Newton would've turned in his if he heard that last one!

[pakistani pride]

some belive that its true !

[lefty]

Then there was that famous one that you passed on yesterday about the dead old woman....and I quote (cos I would never admit to being the source of such rubbish!!!)

Khansahb:

yea fine, even I've heard it but I'd love to know if it's actually true! Otherwise it becomes likes one of those jinn stories often heard through several sources, but never verified eg the most ridoculous one i heard was how some dead woman got up whilst having her ghusl done & said "paani's a bit thanda innit girls!"

[Aristotle]

yea that was a classic...& the guy who told me that really believed it! In fact he got so offended when I fell off my chair in hysterics.
Some people, really believe all that stuff. Once on 27th night of Ramadan someone told a story in the masjid about a man who leart sura Yasin & became so spiritual that............



yep you guessed it, he vanished!

[lefty]

C'mon khansahb, get a grip!

[Oxy]

My mum always used to say that 'if I spilt my salt, I would have to pick it up with my eyes on the day of judgement!)

[Geordie Ahmed]

Oxy i've heard that one too, after that i was extremely careful with the salt :-D

Anyone heard about the saying that if you lick plates clean it will rain on your wedding night? Or is it just my screwy family...

[Aurangzeb]

if you dangle your legs and shake them bad luck will follow

if you randomly play with scissors your parents will get into a fight

if you leave chapal upsidedown bad luck will follow

if you cut your fingernails at night you'll see a churail

if you eat fish and then drink milk you'll get freckles

[Awesome Anjum]

These two are common soundbytes in my household.

and I ask what is a blag? I didn't see the answer and didn't get it from what people are posting.

Apparently it means post anything.

Doodh ka doodh pani ka pani :20:

[pakistani_banda]

as wat i can see from the posts a blag is a weird story passed down the generations.

If you clean plates then your kids are good looking and light colour. If you lick the cooking pot then it will rain on your wedding

If u see a naked lady..u turn into a lizard

Now I know why there are so many lizards in Pakistan. Maybe there is a network of Spearmint Rhino clubs in Pakistan. There are no lizards in London!

Heard this one in school: You would die if a chameleon counts your teeth (frigging chameleons have degrees in Double Maths and Statistics!)

[pakistani_banda]

If it does come out to be true then let me know

then it might be too late for u :P :D
