Su-su is Pee…  Ive heard it used on Indian TV shows !! I had to laugh whn i 1st heard it n realized it was a real word..hindi

other words ive heard being used on the shows r “pusr pusr” (my mom used to ‘halla’  pun we whn we used to talk in bed at night)

and 'dharpoke’

Dressing case!!……‘vanity’ or ‘dresser’

GRIP..(my maa had a GRIP for her saris) suitcase

Settee!!!!!  (Sofa set or a couch)

or some of u probably had a CHESTERFIELD set if ayuh bin lil rich!

Anyone had a PUZZLING CUP?? ..ie PIGGY BANK!

Btw why was it called ‘puzzling’ ??

I had 1 made from brunswick sardine tin , nailed to the wall!!

Some folks had old ovaltine or milo tins with the lids taped securely n a slit made in the middle.

डरपोक (darapok) is hindi for coward.

“pusr pusr” is whispering, etymologically from Hindi "phusaphusaana" to whisper.
