Phukra

Phukra is a slang in this part of Punjab. It denotes a person who shows off unduely. The act of showing off is called Phukri marna. A phukra is, basically, a lier. He tries to show what he is actually not. Usually a person on a Bullet is a typical Phukra. He would own and ride it burning the expensive fuel despite his parents difficulty in making both ends meet.Another major sign is the piercing of one ear. Normally a Punjabi Phukra with one ear pierced might have a slightly higher IQ than a person who is a confirmed retard. In his defence a Phukra usually says 'Phukri marn wastae hi hundi hai'(Showing off is ofcourse meant for showing off). They alone know what that means.
