It was an oft heard phrase on Hindi soaps or movies to signify a person with questionable mental faculty. It perhaps was a metaphor to signify that someone had an IQ of a lid. Hence the moniker.
Recent news events and happenings in the US have led me to assign that title to the masses. At least a majority of them who might either subscribe to observed phenomenon or behaviors.
1. Subway pitchman is a pedophile - A global sandwich chain used a guy on the street as their spokesperson - a guy who once overweight, claimed to lose weight (shrank a foot at the waist eating footlongs) by consuming said sandwich daily. Turns out after the weight loss and the profit gain (for the company) that he was in fact a pedophile. Oops.
Now the media is gaga about how they feel cheated and kids demoralized and on and on. This similar to an incident a few years ago where a golf player of certain skill level was deemed to commit adultery and thence committed to a psycho rehab or some such.
To this I say to the so called 'those that were let down or affected by this tragedy' - Dhakkan.
2. People turned up to watch the Republican Debate - we need a new president apparently. Then went on to praise Donald Trump for his world view and stance on many things political. How quickly they forgot that he has declared bankruptcy multiple times and has questionable ethics at best? What if he did become president?
To this I say to the devotees - Dhakkan. But then again maybe he is the least dirty shirt in the laundry.
3. Deflate-gate - Apparently the prized team in US football called the NE Patriots played dirty when their lead QB used under inflated balls to play the game. That is national news and therefore the followers are in my books Dhakkan. There are larger issues plaguing the game including player's head injuries and long term dementia to the 'affected'; or the moral compass of many a player who turns out to be an 'abusive spouse' or some such; but apparently the lack of air in the ball was the wind in the media's sails.
Dhakkan.
