ঘোল খাওয়ানো

ঘল খওয়ন

To harass

意味

Making someone run around unnecessarily.

🌍

文化的背景

In Kolkata, this phrase is often used to describe the 'Red Tape' in government buildings like Writers' Building or Nabanna. In Dhaka, it's a common term in political talk shows to describe how one party is outmaneuvering the other. The phrase still carries a hint of the old 'Salish' (village court) punishments, though most young people don't know the history. Football is huge in Bengal. Commentators use this phrase almost every match to describe a skillful dribbler.

💡

Use with 'Bes' (Quite)

Adding 'বেশ' (bes) before 'ghol' makes the frustration sound more authentic: 'বেশ ঘোল খাওয়াল' (Gave me quite a runaround).

⚠️

Don't use with Elders

It's a bit disrespectful to say an elder 'fed you ghol' unless you are joking. Use 'হয়রানি' instead.
