Many moons ago
when I was at school, I was walking down through the playing fields with my mate, minding our own business, when a fellow school pupil approached from the other direction.

As he passed, he suddenly came really close to us, then shouted in our faces, "PUNJAB!"

Then he went on his way. As did we, albeit somewhat bemused.

Ohh
I remember when kids at my school used that word. I guessed it was some kind of insult.

This is the only time in my life I've heard anyone using it
in any context other than pertaining to a region of the Indian subcontinent. It was most bizarre.
