Pongal

“Pongal” is prop’s nickname for Kart. In November 2021, Kart noted that “nowadays u just call me ‘Pongal’”, and prop’s answer was a claim of ownership: “only i am allowed to call you that”. ^{1 2}

The word came back in July 2022 in a Tamil phrase, “thambi pongal”, which prop used on Akshay and in other banter. ³ When prop aimed it at someone, the others mocked it back: Kart’s reply was “say that to emperpor”. ⁴ prop later asked “aksahy thambi where u” and ended with the phrase again.
