Puncture Putra

A derogatory term used by religious bigots against Muslims in India. The insinuation being, a substantial majority of Muslims in India are around poverty line if not below, and due to lacking resources they are unable to obtain education and have to generally resort to menial jobs like repairing vehicle tyre "punctures" etc. and that is the basis of this slang obscene & classist remark.

Prominent Punctuation

Prominent punctuation enlarges periods and commas by drawing a circle around each period, and by drawing a large upward pointing arrow head above each comma. The periods with a circle around them, and the commas with the upward pointing arrow heads above them are standard text editing symbols which can also be used when writing to boost certainty and write better.

Working as a Writing Tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2014, when proofreading, C.M. Fabara started drawing a circle around each period, and an upward- pointing arrow head above each comma for students to more easily see where they were located in the text. Then, to help him see where a text's periods and commas were on a paper when writing a first draft or subsequent version of a paper, he started adding a cicle to all the periods and an upward-pointing arrow head to all the commas in a paper. Four-years later he named his technique "prominent punctuation" and submitted it to UrbanDictionary.com for their approval.
