The thought the first one was outrageous, until I saw the second one. So much pride, celebration and publicity for a phoren return? There is even a co-brother, whatever that is!

The two extremes of activity! :D

From what I understand, that's his sister's husband.

wife's sisters husband to be precise.

Pramod

Oh, I thought he meant cousin brother.

Let's see how BHPians solve this...



My friend shared it via whatsapp

Looks like it is R??? Is it?

IF we are talking Cars, then the answer is "R". that is the 'reverse gear'. The numbers are placed precisely as on a gear of a car. stupid:

Even if we are talking about cars, Its a 6 for my car stupid:

Co-brother is a very South-India specific word. However, the usage is so well prevalent out here that even Collins Dictionary notes this usage as

"since, wife's brother is brother-in-law, to avoid all confusion regarding relation, sister-in-law's husband can be called co-brother. In fact, this term is being used in India, mostly among English speaking South Indians."



Bingo! I was going to say that. In both my cars its 6 there.

This joke was irrelevant the day gearboxes got a 6th coglol:

Meaningless to VW drivers as well. R, for us is to the left of 1, with a push down. I have no idea if that is true for all models: I've only driven three or four VWs over twenty years or so.

Meaningless to Ambassador and M 800 drivers as well. They don't have a 5th coglol:

What is that funny H-shaped thingy? My VW just moves in a straight line! :uncontrol

For anyone who knows Tamil, there's a further joke in 6 = R :)
