Yes, quickdraw McManusFan! Brahma to be exact, but close enough for me.

Finally something from RE paid off all these years later!

Hinduism is thought to be the oldest of the major religions still practiced today. What is the youngest major religion?

Sikhism is the answer I was after. By major I meant one of the big six.

Over to Judders for some sort of Sikh/religion related question.

I'll kick off the guesses with Uttar Pradesh, though I think it's mostly Hindu.

Please provide an example of when the Punjabi slang 'Durr Fitteh Muh', which translates literally as 'May your face burn in hell', is likely to be used.

We asked the waiter in our Indian restaurant for the into to Bonanza every Friday night after pub crawl. Don't have skills to upload.

I'm going to give this to McManusFan as his situation is closest.

It's used to respond in a light-hearted or humerous way as part of banter among friends.
So, I can imagine after ordering the hottest thing on the menu, the friend you're dining with may joke with you 'May your face burn in hell' <laugh>

The previous question had me remembering the 'going for an English' sketch on Goodness Gracious Me.

In the sketch, the waiter at the English restaurant is asked 'what's the blandest thing on the menu?'. What food did the waiter suggest?
