dingolfi

Malayalam word for something fishy. Usually used to describe amorous relationships.

The dingolfy originated in Malayalam cinema sometime around the 90s, when Malayalers were desperately in need of an umbrella euphemism that could encapsulate all of their prudeness around matters of lust. With its imported foreign goods sound, and clunky alien charm, dingolfy quickly became the catch all term for all (supposedly) sleazy behavior in the fetid Malayali imagination.
