Firangistan
This word was coined sometime back by yours truly. It means - "Land of the different coloured."
Etymology:
The origins of the word lie in the Pepsi Ad Campaign - Youngistan - "Land of the young." It is made up of two words Firangi and Sthan. Firangi is a Urdu word that means "One with a different colour". Sthan is a Hindi word that means "Place".
How exactly was the word coined? I don't remember now. But it was a few months back in reference to one of my friends going to a foreign country.
Today, this word has become an inseparable part of my vocabulary. Considering how beautiful it is I hope one day it becomes a part of the Oxford(or whichever one is the best then) English dictionary :P
