Feeling very hot or very angry.
Contexto cultural
Lahi (puffed grain) is a healthy snack in Maharashtra, often given during festivals like Nag Panchami. The process of making it is a common sight in rural areas. Famous writers like P.L. Deshpande and V.P. Kale used such idioms to bring a 'flavor of the soil' (matitli boli) to their urban characters. The heat in regions like Nagpur is legendary. The idiom is a survival of the linguistic adaptation to extreme weather. Using this idiom in an argument signals that you are reaching a point where you might stop being polite. It's a verbal warning sign.
Double it for impact
Use 'lahi lahi' (repeated) to sound like a native speaker when complaining about the heat. It shows you're really suffering!
Gender Matters
Always use 'Angachi' (feminine). Using 'Angacha' (masculine) is a dead giveaway that you're a beginner.
