Tamil Slang - Native to Chennai

Dubukku has done a great job of documenting the slang. Conservative Tamils scoff at people using the Chennai slang; but I think it is beautiful in its own right. The slang supposedly originates from the slums of Chennai and I salute the slums for giving us what could possibly be the best gift any land can ask for: ouor own tongue. Amikki podu. Check it out:
Tamil Slangs: "Tamil slangs explained for Tamils and non Tamils. This may also include any common english slangs in tamil context. Submit any slangs that you may want to add in the comments section. Will be updated weekly."
Unwittingly or wittingly Dubukku had left some crucial terms out, and I am doing my bit to add to the dictionary.
Otha: F**K - used as an adjective, and most times as punctuation.

Nakkal: Sarcasm

Takkar/Mabbu/Tighttu:State of intoxication (Inna maamey takkaraa nee?

Usaar: N: smart, alert V: beware

Naattu Kattai: Country girl - one that's well endowed.

Nool udradhu: To flirt

Matter:Could mean many things, but used mostly when referring to porn or doing 'it'.
Bulb: Anti-climax, back-firing

Ninety:Refers to the measure (90ml) of an alcoholic drink (not beer thank you).

Sarakku:Booze.
