Chalaiden
''Chalaiden'' (), or ''Source: Chalai den'' (), is a satirical internet meme that emerged on social media in Bangladesh during the July Revolution, as well as the events that followed. The phrase is especially used in opposition to the spread of rumours and misinformation—particularly those propagated by the Chhatra League, the student wing of the ruling party, the Awami League. Background It is not precisely known how the phrase ''chalaiden'' first came into discussion. However, near the end of the movement, a screenshot from a WhatsApp group of Chhatra League members circulated on social media. In it, one member was seen instructing others to fabricate a false news story and ''chalai den'' (i.e., "spread it") among the group.

Murad Takla
In Bangladeshi humour and popular culture, ''Murad Takla'' () refers to someone who writes Bengali words using the Latin script in a bizarre or unorthodox fashion, which unintentionally produces a distorted meaning. The phrase originated in the 2010s. History A Facebook comment posted on 14 July 2012 was the origin of ''Murad Takla''. In the comment, a commenter told the other commenter to speak with logic. He asked why the person had a lame profile picture, and told him to learn before speaking. The screenshot of the comment went viral on Facebook because of its unintentional humour: The commenter wrote ''Murad Takla'' ("''Murod thakle''" in Banglish) which was intended to mean "if you have courage", but its pronunciation simply means "a bald person named Murad". The phrase became popular and synonymous with those who write distorted Bengali using the Latin script. After the incident, a Facebook page named ''Murad Takla'' was created in 18 November of the same year. The page wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
