Geebo ela yumfigun re hoonfadrest koni sham nuw pot! PSHT.. Geebo ma geebo! Nela?
The funniest response I got to that was "Would you stop it with the Malayalam!!" Hehehe I guess it's not all that funny if you don't speak the language. By the way, it is definitely not Malayalam, its complete gibberish!
We started talking in Geebo when we were on our department trip, which was kick-ass btw. This post is for my fellow Geebers. I have never met so many crazy people in my life! As in I know my share of weird people and I know people weirder than the Geebers. But never so many in a single group.
Story of Geebo. This might not be very accurate because 1. I was high on chocolate, 2. I was jumping up and down throughout so I couldn't see properly, 3. I was talking super super fast or in super super high frequency or just plain out screaming.
Anyway, my version of the Geebo story goes like this... My mad Mallu counter-part Lakshmi and I take immense pleasure in conversing only in Malayalam in front of our non Malayalam speaking friends and generally about them, effectively pissing them off. So on our way back, two of them started blabbing away in what we didnt know then as Geebo. Catching on quickly the 4 of us talked to each other with very loud body language and expressions. Stringing together random syllables and imagining up conversations in our heads we created Geebo!
Except Geebo is not the name of the language. (I call it geebo though) No, Geebo is much much more. Geebo is like the word putain in French - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSeaDQ6sPs0 - I just watched the video, Geebo is exactly like putain! Except geebo is a little bit more child friendly and initially meant "IDIOT!!" with Geebo ma geebo being "you're SUCH an IDIOT!!" Geebo is the person, the language, the emotion. Geebo is everything!!! (Being dramatic and crazy, as you can see, is a prerequisite for geebo)
prologue - we ran the length of the train (the compartments with other lsr peoples) speaking in geebo with random first years and selected seniors. Hehe, that was fun too :D
