‘Jai Ho’ is the first instance of a Hindi phrase becoming a global password.
The English language crossed the 1 million words threshold earlier this year in June, according to Global Language Monitor, a Texas-based organisation that tracks word usage on the internet. This year the most used phrase was ‘King of Pop.’ Ranked eighth on the list is ‘Jai Ho’—an exclamation of joy and accomplishment, made famous in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. ‘Jai Ho’ is the first instance—since the group started tracking word usage trends in 2000—that a Hindi phrase has come to become a global password.
