Truck’s ‘Hinglish’ Remark to ‘Haters’ is Hilarious: ‘Bad Nazar Wale Your Face Will Be Black’
The people who drive trucks and love auto-rickshaws in India are a lively group of people who strive to find comedy in everything. They use clever sayings that are prominently displayed on the backs of their cars as a platform for their humorous flair. When you drive by these trucks with funny inscriptions on them, you’ll probably hear a lot of people laughing or at the very least, smiling slyly. A truck driver recently made headlines with an especially funny statement that had everyone in stitches. Oh, the nostalgia! The message’s usage of “Hinglish” brought back memories of our efforts at language acrobatics in middle school.
If none of it sounds familiar, the now-viral photo will undoubtedly transport you back in time. The truck’s message was hilariously changed from “Buri Nazar Wale Tera Muh Kaala,” which is usually used to ward off evil and jealously, to the loud and dramatic “Bad Nazar Wale Your Face Will Be Black.” The clever user @swatic12 posted the image on the microblogging platform “X” with the remark, “When a North Indian wants to throw shade but realizes he is in Bangalore.” The post quickly went viral and made people giggle uncontrollably.
Quickly jumping on the humorous bandwagon, commenters asked incredulously, “Bad Face Nazar will Wale be your black – I didn’t get it even in Hinglish.” “After six months on site, when you are back in India,” said someone else in a humorous manner. A third person remarked in jest, “Abuse ka tarika thoda casual nahi hai?” at the same time.
In the meanwhile, in yet another hilarious instance of mistranslation, an auto’s message became a linguistic challenge that tested internet users’ language skills. It was only solvable by those who were acquainted with the Indian talent for translating Hindi to English literally. The humorous statement said, “Person is a matter; money is a doesn’t.” Let the giggling and “LOLs” begin! The comment, “Solid, Liquid, Gas is also the matter,” added to the overall humor of the photo, which quickly shot to viral prominence.
