Topic: What does Barjee and Phall mean

[noble ox]

Hi All
Bargee barghia spellings have change over time I was led to believe it meant  " Fried"

Also Phall again with many spellings just means   " Fruit"

I  am getting a little confused  :  with so many meanings fusing together

[spiceyokooko]

Bhaji comes from the Maharashtrian region of India and means 'fried vegetable'. Pakora is the Hindi word for the same thing and comes from Sanskrit.

Phall I think is an English made up word as it doesn't have any roots in any of the Indian languages. It's probably a contraction of the word 'phallus', intimating at the sensibility of the individuals who would eat a dish so hot.

According to Uncyclopedia:

Phall

Phall is the hottest curry known to man (contrastingly, the hottest curry known to woman is korma). Its name comes from the Latin word 'phallus', as eating such a dangerously spicy dish signifies extreme machismo. Eaters of the phall are typically worshipped in restaurants, and can be identified from their proud mugshots hanging on the wall.
On a scale of 1-10, for which 1 is "not hot at all" and 10 is "McDonalds Apple Pie", your average phall would score approximately seven, just below the Sun. Therefore, only the most manliest of men's men dare to eat it.

On a more serious note:

phall- or phallo- [from Greek phallos penis] Denotes the penis (phallodynia, phallorrhagia).

I think those crazy Indians might have been having a laugh with us Chicken Penis anyone?
