Delhiwale: The new Dilli speak

Every generation develops its own language, and Delhi's current youth slang includes words like meme, mid, OG, aura, kuchu puchu, no shit, no cap, and delulu.

These new words are commonly heard on the Delhi Metro and in WhatsApp conversations, as observed by business student Ashtika.

Earlier generations used words like jhakaas and sexy as generic compliments, and text messages abbreviated you to u.

At a Jantar Mantar protest against paper leaks, students used contemporary slogans alongside unprintable profanities, which are now freely spoken by young women into cameras.
