pajeet

== English == === Alternative forms === Pajeet === Etymology === An invented Indian-sounding given name, originating from the Pajeet, my son meme created on the 4chan message board /int/ in July 2015, mocking South Asians. This was itself inspired by the Mehmet, my son meme, popularized on /int/ in late 2014, which mocked Turkish people. Although the name does not exist in South Asia, similar-sounding names exist, especially in the Indian state of Punjab. It is likely derived from Punjabi ਭਾ ਜੀ (bhā jī) / بھا جی (bhā jī, “my brother, a honorific address to men”), Hindi पाजी (pājī), as well as from Punjabi male names ending with the suffix Hindi जीत (jīt, “victory”), such as Baljeet and Sanjeet. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˌpəˈd͡ʒiːt/ === Noun === pajeet (plural pajeets) (Internet slang, originally 4chan slang, ethnic slur, derogatory, offensive) A person of South Asian ancestry. Synonym: (ethnic slur) poojeet (Pakistan, Internet slang, ethnic slur, derogatory, offensive) An Indian, especially non-Muslim. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== See also ==== === References ===
