Subject: Birth of Suththi

Hi Friends,
   Some years ago,Jandhyala with his film 'nAlugu sthambhAla Ata' has
popularised the usage of the word 'suththi' to symbolize obnoxious
speech.The 'suththi' was remotely used,in that denotation,in some coastal
Andhra districts,it was only after 'nAlugu sthambhAla Ata' that it gained
mileage.
   In 'nAlugu sthambhAla Ata',Jandhyala gives a funny origin to 'suththi',
through some of the characters in that film.(I think I remember that Jandhyala
has written the dialogues??? Please correct me if I'm wrong).
   In 'nAlugu sthambhAla Ata', 'suththi' Velu plays the role of Gurunadham,an
accountant and distant relative to Kaththi Subbarao,played by late 'suththi'
Veerabhadhra Rao, who often "hammers" him.This conversation is between
Gurunadham(Velu) and Subbarao(Veerabhadhra Rao)'s daughter...

Daughter:   adhentandi alAga vunnaru?
Gurunadham: abbae! emI ledhamma.peLLi sandharbhamgA mee nanna gAru,enthO
 udhArangA
            koorcho petti marI suththi vaEsaru!
Daughter:   avunU eppudU suththi,suththi antAru.asalu 'suththi' ante emitandi?
