N.E.P :
Naan
Yaen Perindhaen. Literally translated means "Why was I born". Loosely translated
( as is in most cases), can mean anything.
1) When used in first
person (I am an nep): Says it all. I am without a friend from the opposite
sex(most important criterion). I am lazy. I will never undertake a task
which can lead to an iota of value. I will obstinately stick to my views.
I will trivialise all things. I will letch like there is no tommorrow.
Most glorifying word one can use on oneself. Its a very rare occurence
to be an nep. Its a dying breed.
2) Second person (Hey
U nep): The greatest respect you can bestow on another person. Welcome
to the club buddy. You are one of us. Join us in the celebration of being
nep. Letch and bitch at others and glorify yourself.
3) Third person ( That
****** is an nep) : The most derogatory word one can use. Why was he born
at all yaar? Such a waste in life. Look at his girlfriend. They'll be neps
throughout their lives. Eat at nep places ( Kadambam ), go to same office
everyday, do nothing exciting, and can't even be a proper nep at that.
Yuck, how disgusting.
4) General sense : As
said earlier, can mean anything, depending upon whether you are an nep,
whether the group you are is an nep group and who/what you are describing.
General rules (note all third person): Girls in salwars are nep. Married
people are obviously nep (!!). Bosses are , again obviously, nep.
Girls who don't smile when u whistle at them are also nep, etc etc...
Golden rule : If you were a nep and you get married , or go psenti with someone you cease to be a nep but If you have an arranged marriage, you remain an nep. Incase of doubt refer sense(#4).
History :
First
used by the Music Club in our batch. Initially used only in sense (#3).
But our wing soon made it a status symbol and brought in sense(#2) and
finally sense(#1). Long live music club. Long live the Instru-Infosys wing.
Future :
Neps
are a fast dying species. Many have 'caught' girlfriends or in the process
of catching one. U CAN HELP. Please donate $10 to me and help in publicising
this rare breed. Unless corrective action is taken fast, this wonderful
species will be lost forever.
