Crude!

 The PMT driver was trying to negotiate the tough traffic near the SNDT bus stop. There is a flyover there. The bus was up the flyover. And, then, there were these two boys going double-seat, zigzagging their bicycle any which way. 

First the driver chose to ignore them completely. But their antics continued so much so that at 'that' point, he had to apply break. The whole bus jolted. Those passengers, busy with their mobiles, almost fell off their seats. 

The driver had the choicest cusswords for the two wastrels. He started hollering, "cheap zopadpatti types. Their mothers, an ugly abuse followed, just bring them in to this world. These, yet another cussword, do not bring them up properly." For those two, it was fun! They were laughing, enjoying the driver's disgust.

As I was sitting in the very first row of the ladies' side, I witnessed the whole scene from close quarters as this seat is just a foot next to the driver's cabin. Was the driver wrong in using those ugly cusswords?

 Well, brought up the proper way ( the ideal, ge(e)ntle, oh-so-right Brahmin way, yes, without any casteist slur I am mentioning this fact), the cusswords did appear crude. Yet, somehow, given the extreme provocation, I could not disregard them completely, however much I disapproved of them.

He used another word which I find interesting indeed. Roughly it can be translated as 'smartypants',  a cocky/cocksure, pushy/arrogant thuggee, in brief. 

With that word, I do not really have a fight. Absolutely deserved it was. If your behaviour is consciously crude, the person at the receiving end is justified in being rude!
