معنی
Mocking or joking about someone
زمینه فرهنگی
In Kolkata, 'Khilli' is often paired with 'Chakna' (snacks) and 'Cha' (tea). It's part of the 'Lyadh' (laziness/relaxation) culture where friends spend hours just roasting each other. In Dhaka, especially among university students, 'Khilli' is a way to bond. If someone can't take a 'khilli', they are often called 'Khet' (uncool/rustic). Bengali meme pages on Facebook use 'Khilli' as a category. A 'Khilli post' is one designed to make fun of a viral trend or a celebrity's mistake. Modern 'urban' Bengali films (like those by Srijit Mukherji or Mainak Bhaumik) frequently use this slang to make the dialogue feel realistic to young audiences.
Know your audience
Never use this with someone you need to show respect to, like a doctor or an elderly neighbor.
The 'Niye' Rule
Always remember to use 'নিয়ে' (niye) after the person you are mocking. 'Rahul-ke khilli kora' is wrong; 'Rahul-ke niye khilli kora' is right.
