There is a strange lingo called Hyderabadi which may be fast fading away. Some attempts at preservation -
Kaikoo? means Why? and How means Yes.
Kaikoo yaaro? means, Why, man?
Parso can mean day before yesterday, day after tomorrow or a year forward or back..as in "Parso main aaya thaa naa," to a long lost relative/friend.
Kya logaan hai yaaro, is a general cry of despair at anything which should not be happening, but has happened, with people, countries, continents or outer space.
Motabbari hai kya? roughly translates into 'Who do you think you are?' when said in the right tone (not a literal translation)
'Bataan nahi karte hum Hyderabadi' is a line from a song in one of Big B's films. It means, "We Hyderabadis don't just talk,...."
Hum kaale hain to kya hua dilwaale hain- was an immortal song filmed on Mehmood in 'Gumnaam' in which he uses Hyderabadi lingo.
The movie Bazaar starring Supriya Pathak and Farooq Sheikh had some excellent use of the lingo in the whole film.

Kaiku is the ultimate word in the world because if you keep asking Kaiku of any subject long enough, there will come a time when answers will run out.
And 'How' with the number of 'wwww's' added to it can subtly change the tone from one of complete agreement to one full of sarcasm.
And I always maintain that there is no English equivalent to Zabardast. Nor are girls better described by any other word than pottiyaan!
You forgot 'Nakkho' !
