3 +4 | an explanation below |

shau mau - shommunist changing the first consonant of the word Explanation: This is simply replacing the first consonant of a word with an "sh" sound, to indicate a disregard or scorn for a concept. I know it is quite popular with American Jews, and spread to the rest of the population, partic in NY, but I hadn't realised it was done by Indians too. |
