Mokkai
Okai.
Mokkai is a more common word. But it sure deserves a page or two on my blog!
One of the first things that come to my mind is Mokka Mohan - The filler on FM Radio Mirchi where RJ Siva reads out poems or sings a spoof version of film songs. It sure is a Mokkai stuff, but enjoyable nevertheless due to the light and colloquial way it is rendered.
Mokkai literally means 'Blunt'. And in Chennai Sen-Tamil means boring or dull or is a kadi (kadis are interesting but irritating or frustrating jokes)
If some one cracks a really boring or dull joke we say, Macchaan, Semma Mokkai podaraan da!
If a film is gruesomely pathetically poor and boring, we call it as a Mokkai Padam.
Some folks are also given the title Mokka Mohan for their talent for Mokkai Jokes and kadis.
