المعنى
A great distance away.
خلفية ثقافية
Distance is often relative to the 'ST' (State Transport) bus frequency. If a village is 'khup lamb', it implies you might only have one or two buses a day to get there. In Mumbai, distance is measured in 'time' rather than kilometers. 'Khup lamb' usually means anything that takes more than 90 minutes in traffic or by train. Farmers use 'lamb' to describe the length of their fields or the distance to the water source, which is crucial for irrigation. The phrase is used to denote the 'distance' between the soul and the divine in Bhakti poetry (Abhangas), though 'dur' is more common there, 'lamb' appears in modern interpretations.
Emphasis Trick
To say something is *really* far, say 'खू-ऊ-ऊ-प लांब' (elongate the 'u' in Khup).
Height vs Distance
Never use 'lamb' for a person's height. It sounds like you are saying they are physically stretched out on the floor!
