The Hindi word that means today annnnnd tomorrow. (You can figure it out based on the tense of the verb) It's like a slap in the face to time. Genius. Just genius.
It's especially appropriate, because in my experience, time takes on a completely different flavor in India. We Americans are over here measuring time by the nanosecond and the Indians just shrug and say now and not now.

maybe deportification would mean throwing people out portholes. Which I suspect would be more rare than defenestration.
