a new word

Submitted by parul on
'Bangalored' is a verb which recently got added in the dictionary. A person is said to be bangalored if he lost his job because the work got outsourced to Bangalore or any other city in India. 'He got bangalored last week' is an example of its usage. You can also type this word 'bangalored' in Google search and see. Lots of people in US got bangalored that it became an issue during the US Presidential election. That?s exactly when this word was coined. One such similar verb is 'shanghaied' which means kidnapped. Great that Bangalore has a verb in its name only that it has a negative meaning.

When it comes to quantity, we Indians are on the top of the list. No wonder the other parts of the world are being "Bangalored".
