Chittagonian (language of Chittagong region) is a medley of sarcasm and straightforwardness. Elitist lexicon and ghetto slang. Pure Sanskirt and far-flung Spanish. Thus, it’s no surprise that Chittagonian gave me my new obsession-inducing phrase “Lokkhi Fa’ad diye” … or Lakshmi Farted!!
So … what does it really mean? Well, Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of prosperity, courage, wealth, generosity. Umm, basically anything Good. And farting means flatulence, which is the release of bodily gas.
When to use this phrase: When someone or something with negative tendencies unexpectedly does something extraordinarily good.
In a country full of unexpected people and events, this phrase is quite ubiquitous.
