Some funny ones:

Your dad is some sort of engineer or doctor.
Your parents say, "Calculus? I took calculus in 8th grade!!"
You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal.
You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on".
.Your parents push the concept of an arranged marriage on you and try and demonstrate how well it works whenever they're not fighting.
You notice that whenever you go to another Indian's house, your parents always talk about work and business.
The second you pull out of someone's driveway, your parents start talking...about them.

I call that Indian time.

God, that is sooooooooooo annoying. I have a "pet name" and if I ever told anyone, I would get made fun off to know end.

Lets just say it sounds a lot like the name of a part of the female body.

Venkgina?

hahahahahahaha that made my day

Never heard that one exactly, but I know an indian guy (american born and raised) who says "off the light", "off the tv", etc.

i had an italian GF and her family would always say open this and close that

You know you're indian when your parents tell you to turn the voice down on the TV (hindi's word for volume translates to voice).

/American guy feels completely left out of this thread


Well....YEAH. Um. I work with an Indian gentleman. He's way better at math than I am...and....he um....calls me "friend." And yeah...I don't have a funky nickname and my parents don't talk about the people we visited b/c my parents are proper Americans; completely anti-social and they hate visiting anyone. 😀

So...yeah...I'll just leave this completely mono-racial thread.
