The derogatory term, "Ghinder" is a racial slur that is commonly used to refer to former members of the British Raj. This term has a fruitful history, dating back to when the British Empire ruled parts of the Indian Subcontinent under the British Raj, a period of colonial rule that lasted from 1858 to 1947. During this time, the British exercised subversive control over its people. The modern nations of India, Pakistan & Bangladesh were historically known to be forced into their sovereignty, their people subjected to cruel and unjust torture. Specifically, the word is derived from the Hindi word "Gandhi" and was used as a pejorative term to describe those who were under British authority. Over time, the meaning of the term has evolved significantly, and it has come to refer to any person of South Asian descent who is seen as either low-class, dirty, or incarcerated for menial labor. However, despite its negative connotations, the slur has taken on a more positive meaning. Countless ghinders have “embraced” this term, using it as a form of in-group identification. In such communities, the word is a playful or affectionate greeting, seen as a way of establishing a sense of belonging. Additionally, courteous ghinders are able to give out 'passes'. G-word passes are primarily given out to members of different racial identifications due to their inability to say the word. However, if a pass is granted, the holder is finally able to divulge the slur, free of societal judgment.
Person 1: "Man, I hate ghinders! They smell like shit."
Person 2: "Put that on my thrice-removed cousin-brother's baby momma's dogwalker's unborn daughter!"
Person 1: "Dude, I can't believe Rohit Venkatesh works at 7/11!"
Person 2: "He's definitely a ghinder, bro."

Get the ghinder mug.A colloquial expression for a burgundy Dodge Caravan mini-van common on the West coast of Canada. It is sometimes used in reference to a Plymouth Voyager but never a Chrysler Town and Country. Ghinds are traditionally first or second generation (1984-1995) Caravans that feature the classic "burghinder" paint colour. The Chrysler model is not, strictly speaking, a true ghind because of its luxurious faux-wood panelling. Camperized ghinds are especially awesome, obviously.

Get the ghind mug.For anyone spending time in Jersey you will notice the clash of cultures that has led to the emergence of Guindus. They have blow out haircuts, polos with popped collars, and love club music, but they by no means do they need a fake tan, since they are born brown.
