Srimathi VR Ji,
So, what would you call a person at my age(65)?. May be 'Mukkal Kizham?'
By the way, Srimathi RR Ji, nice to see a quarrel in the same family!
Regards,
KRS
the correct learning should be:I learn something new everyday! :ranger:
So.... calling some people 'கிழம்' is NOT an offence!

How about a budha with occasional fall backs into a budhu???
Budha??? :decision: Budhu???
I have been following this thread, and though I preferred to stay aloof, I thought I could, just once, chip in my knowledge of Tamil as I learned at school, a la Maanavar Manram etc.
Ok, here it goes. Colloquially, கிழம், கிழடு, கிழடன், கிழவன், கிழவி, கிழத்தனம் are words often used to refer to older people in contempt. (Poetry may be an exception)
கிழப்பிணம் is the extreme insult that one can hurl at any older person one does not like. கிழத்தனம் is a word synonymous with senility. And so colloquially, கிழம் is derisively used for such attribution as well.
Sorry for being such a spoil-sport!
These North Indian kids, were they familiar with the Tamil word Kizhava? If yes, did they mean by “chorikkizhava” சொறிக்கிழவன் that is சொறிஞ்சிண்டு இருக்கிறகிழவன் ?Have you heard the expression "chorik kizhava!"
used by the childhood north Indian friends on my sons?
Kizhavan be itself is bad enough but chorik kizhavan... :scared:
They used it indiscriminately on people of all ages!
அப்படி வாங்க வழிக்கு!............. Kizhavan be itself is bad enough but chorik kizhavan... :scared: ...
