"I'm a gigantic tosser" Pretty easy to read actually


CyanideRemark

I love how cross cultural the territorial pissings of young males putting obnoxious stickers on their car is. Not that I ever did such a stupid thing when I were lad. Nooo... Cheap vinyl cutters weren't a thing then. I had to make my own out of coloured contact and a craft knife.


Morgue-Escapologist

Coloured contact! Luxury. All I had to make do was scavenged electrical tape and mum’s haberdashery scissors

Don't know what the phrase means, but it's likely the car owner is a Sikh, or at least a native of Punjab. The AK47 is a symbol for Punjabi Sikhs since 1984, which was when their grand temple was invaded/raided by the Indian Army, which then started a whole shitshow of things between them, so from my understanding the AK is used by them as a symbol of pride...kinda like an aggressive version of the Southern Cross I guess.


Bear-Bum

That insanely interesting!

Thanks for the link, i found that very interesting, knew nothing about it beforehand =)


Which_Efficiency6908

He’s a giant tosser apparently.


Bear-Bum

who


Blacky05

It's like having Ned Kelly's armour and "Such is Life" on your car.


Immediate_Reward_246

This means ehe naa chote vadde da liyaaj krdi. This is from song of famous singer Sidhu moose wala. This implies that a gun does not care whether you big or small, rich or poor, it is going to kill you


Worried_Emu_8258

And that famous singer was killed by the same gun


Immediate_Reward_246

Practice what you preach


johanne_s_factotum

Apt. Because it did.


Several-Regular-8819

A gun killed you?


johanne_s_factotum

Yes. But also ol' Moose.


VMaxF1

Google Translate says it's Punjabi for "This name is small and big". Take that as you like, Google Translate is in the ballpark but missing subtleties that change meaning.


Gerryatrician

Big ego, small weiner?


elektramortis

"I'm a grower, not a show-er" ?


kipwrecked

>Google Translate says it's Punjabi for "This name is small and big". So like, "This is a TARDIS"?


CyanideRemark

Looks partially obscured by the mirror as well.


Educational_Newt_909

According to chatGPT: The text on the car in the image is in Punjabi. It reads: "ਇਕ ਨਾਂ ਬੜੇ ਵੋਤ ਦਾ" This can be translated to English as: "Not for a big shot" Given the partial visibility of the text, the phrase "ਇਕ ਨਾਂ ਬੜੇ ਵੋਤ ਦਾ" (Ik nāṁ baṛe vot dā) roughly translates to "Not for a big shot" or "Not for someone important." The context suggests that it's likely a statement emphasizing that the car or the person using it is not claiming to be someone of high status or importance. If the text extends further, it might provide additional context or nuance, but based on what is visible, this is a reasonable interpretation. If i tell it there is an AK-47 in the photo for context: The inclusion of the AK-47 image along with the Punjabi text "ਇਕ ਨਾਂ ਬੜੇ ਵੋਤ ਦਾ" (Ik nāṁ baṛe vot dā) suggests a possible expression of defiance or pride. The combination implies a message along the lines of "Not for the faint-hearted" or "Not for the weak" rather than "Not for a big shot." In this context, the phrase and the image together likely convey a sense of strength, resilience, or readiness to face challenges, possibly reflecting a cultural or personal statement about toughness or bravery.


WadjulaBoy

So it's Punjabi for "I'm a gigantic tosser"


south-of-the-river

Can confirm, just asked my South Indian FIL and he says "this boy needs to be spoken to"


grogstarr

Spoken to by 'The Hand'


Efficient-Example-53

It says who reads this is a penchod


rainbowpotatopony

madarchod


dragonfry

I always wanted “gandu” as a number plate. Being a very white chick, it’d probably confuse a few people.


Perth_R34

Just asked my Punjabi mates. It says "eh nah chhote vadde da..." Rest is hidden but most likely "...lihaaz krdi" Which translates to "This doesn't care if you're a powerful man, it'll mess you up"  Sort of like a fuck you to the tyrant Indian government.


Ayan91PS

Tyrant Indian government, my ass! Sikhs enjoy some of the greatest privileges in India. These MFs can literally get away with murder without any legal repercussions. See this https://www.ndtv.com/video/nihang-sikh-allegedly-kills-man-in-punjab-gurdwara-over-sacrilege-753858#:~:text=A%20Nihang%20Sikh%20allegedly%20killed,took%20responsibility%20for%20the%20killing.


redbrigade82

I'm going to suggest it's idiomatic for something like "Not for show"


Cowboy195

Does chatGPT have image recognition now?


Educational_Newt_909

Yup, you need to use ChatGPT-4o for the really good recognition. Normal v4 still has it but 4o excels in multi-modal inputs and outputs (but is less smarter than 4)


Cowboy195

There you go, thanks!


Obleeding

I asked Perplexity the same thing and it used your comment as a source lol


Jazzlike-Wave-2174

CyanideRemark

Didn't occur to you to knock on the passengers window and ask the guy drinking a bottle of soy sauce what it meant?


Gerryatrician

> soy sauce Looks like Lee King Kum brand soy to me.


CyanideRemark

Someone else of distinguished taste, I see.


Gerryatrician

I prefer the low salt variety.


mheh242

Lee Kum Kee


Gerryatrician

My bad.


Ecstatic-Media-6774

It means this(ak47) doesn’t care about smaller or bigger. Rest one or two words are hidden under the side mirror so cant tell whats the full sentence. I’m a Punjabi guy and this language is Punjabi and this community loves AK47 for multiple reasons such as promoted in songs, a symbol of free sikh nation or khalistan, Modern Sikh guru’s used ak47 for their protection from corrupt governments etc. hence youth loves this weapon. Although these weapons are only used by securities and other armed personals.


CRYPTOSINGH06

You are wrong about "Modern Sikh Guru". There is NOTHING like modern sikh guru.


Koriena

There’s definitely no modern Sikh Gurus.


lockheed_f104

Did anybody watch the Four Corners program a couple of weeks ago I never got around to seeing it about the Indian secret service here and plans to bump off punjabi activists as they did in Canada?


plantsonething

Uber driver during day hitman during night


Specialist_Reality96

With most uber drivers isn't Hits men Women Children shopping trolleys sign posts kerbs and whatever else happens to be next to the road during the day and the bars overnight?


Zobe4President

Meh I wouldn't be too worried as the hit victim.. Unless your standing in the exact right place at the exact moment he drives past and not too drunk then he'll just cancel the hit and keep going


ozcncguy

Probably along the same lines as the idiots who have a spare wheel attached to the back of the car without a tyre, to represent the fact that changing a tyre is so far beneath them they don't even need a tyre.


Perth_R34

This misunderstanding has been spread like crazy. That's not the reason why they don't have tyres. It's literally the opposite, to appear poor. Style is called laandi (or something similar) Jeep, which literally translate to incomplete jeep.


ozcncguy

Fair enough, they obviously don't understand it themselves when it's on 100k+ SUVs


Mother-Bet-7739

Does the guy in the car have a gun?


LilMudButt

I used to see 2 Indian women in my gym years ago who had this tattooed on their forearm… very strange and weird. Now it’s on a car!


Life_is_simulated

Forget the text, is he driving with a joystick??


fulltime_barracuda

Looks like he's holding a piece of hydraulic hose. Parker 43 series hose at a guess. 3/4 hose -12 jic maybe


MousseAfter388

What’s in passengers hand? Wrong guesses only…I guess.


sweetiepiecakez

"The name is Punjabi MC, come and fight me"


Previous-Pass-7309

It says "small dick, big gun"


jngjng88

Edgelord.


Towtruck_73

I thought the script looked familiar, but like everyone else not fluent in Punjabi, I had no idea either. Looks like the Punjabi equivalent of something a Redneck would put on the back of his pickup truck.


Gautama_8964

Bang bang bang


Cheese_Yum_Yum

I'm just guessing. HAHA GUN


Wahey_of_WA

It says "I don't need no trigger guard fool"


Illustrious-Big-6701

The best translation for this sticker is "*Stay the fuck away. I have a religious knife and Modi is about to assassinate me*".


Shaqtacious

Doesn’t care if you’re young or old, kills regardless.


AwarenessisKey2u

Is that a bottle of vino in their hand in car ? Or what is that🧐


charlie_thommo88

It should be "deport. Where is the airport"


Muncher501st

Saw an AK on a ute the other day. It’s interesting to say the least, Indians do some weird shit with their cars


Altruistic_Farmer901

The AK47 is a very effective indoor weapon.


Hot-Doughnut5681

Google lens will do it 


BoomBoom4209

Man they stick some garbage on their cars...


dazgaz1984
