Bombay Bol: Makarand Deshpande on why 'vantaas' is the perfect Bambaiya term

Vantaas

I think that it is the perfect Bambaiya term to say ‘nikal* or get lost. Now, it can be used to tell someone to get lost or to remind yourself that you have to make yourself scarce. It is a unique term that comes from what I call the Anthony Gonsalves Dictionary of Mumbai, alongside words like ‘apun*. People from another city might never understand the word.
