Wow, Rog, that's pretty impressive.

So, to get rid of the ear-cleaners, we just say Maka Naka (can you supply the Goan phrase for 'a mucky rusty nail stuck in our ear').

I hope this is not a swear word but MACA PA PADEE means give is a kiss
its something like that the spelling could be wrong but someone will know the right way of it ..colleen

Tu Khoso Asa - How are you

Dev Bore Khoru - Thankyou

Mhaka Nakha I do use on the beach sellers. I had one come up to me and say ''Hello madam do you want to look at my cheap cr*p today''

Chelo - go away, I use this when the sellers really start to get on my nerves

And when they are really getting on your nerves - chelo pakistan!

Chelo actualy means something closer to "hurry up"
