The KGP vocabs

Like all great languages in the history of mankind, the kgp-lingo is rich in its expressiveness, its words taking roots from diverse sources but simplifying or distorting them with the passage of time, and often creating ingenious expressions to meet new demands. This flexibility of the language has made it what it is today: dynamic, powerful and yet musical; rational, scientific and yet poetic; KGP-ites' pride, others' envy.

The expressions below are unique to KGP, and even if some of them are used elsewhere, they have special/high use in KGP.

EXPRESS suggests an impulse to reveal in any manner, as in words, gestures, actions, or in what one makes or produces; VENT stresses a strong inner compulsion to express esp. in words; UTTER implies the use of the voice not necessarily in articulate speech; VOICE does not necessarily imply vocal utterance but does imply expression or formulation in words; BROACH adds the implication of disclosing for the first time something long thought over or reserved for a suitable occasion; AIR implies an exposing or parading one's views often in order to gain relief or sympathy or attention.

- An observant ex-KGPite
One of the most commonly used words during my time was 'hagga' (to shit). Usually heard to describe a kgpite's life as hagga, mugga and shagga.
