Pachydermatous Asiaeus

Pachydermatous asiaeus. it's da medical term for a new disease to have affected a part of tamil nadu. To be more specific: CIT in Coimbatore. I have no idea to the origins of this malady which i shall henceforth refer to as the Asia syndrome. Affected persons can be easily identified by their speech which is littered with the word 'Asia' at the end of all or most exclamations. I believe it was a term created to mock a person who has tried saying or doing something that he thinks is funny, but recent trends have been changing. It's being added everywhere. Words like 'tryasia' , 'betrasia' 'comedasia' were the trend but people have taken the concept to such an extent that words like
'seruppula-appitasia' have started poppin up. for those who are not prolific in tamil, 'seruppula appa' means to be slippered literally. you may wonder where on earth did asia come up in that.Good question. beats me. Any tamil linguists around? or maybe some one workin on a doctorate in tamil? U could consider doing ur thesis on dis new found dialect maybe...
till then i shall just sit n ponder over the intricacies of this ... hmm what do u call that? asia syndrome..... byeasia to everyone....
