The best e-card site ever (ever!) has come up with a range of messages just for Ramadaan.
As these have been conceptualised in line with their usual facetious-tongue-on-dockers-clad-butt-cheek offerings, do not send on to people who take themselves too seriously.
They’ve also introduced a create-your-own e-card function which, as evident below, I thoroughly abused last night.
(As kids, we’d call people who didn’t keep their fasts ‘kotchcows’. I don’t know the etymology behind this one)

Hey you lot – I’m glad you all enjoyed these:)
Ramadaan Mubarak to one and all (even the kotchcows).

Love the cards. Specially the one with the salt:)
I’m thoroughly entertained at work. Thanks again Saaleha.
double kudos. love kotchkows & 16 course iftaar
brilliant as usual.
half-fasts as a kid lol who came up with that shit?
Berry nice
really enjoyed the cards hehe
Haha… great ones.. I like the 16-course iftaar one – it’s quite true.
btw what’s a “kotchcows”?
LoL.. I wont comment.. We had a discussion on this topic i think..
A fast a day keeps Shaytaan at bay..
(lol i cannot post the others) but will contemplate doin a post as u mentioned..
Bril cards tho.. Mmm.. Think my mother will freak if i send her one of these while im in Ghana..
“Mummy’s little kothcow” would be bril..
Hilarious. Lol. Love findin the etymology of our indian slang. . I can hazard a guess to the last part of the word. Kotchcow . . I think the cow part is perhaps ‘khao’ meanin ‘eat’ or ‘to eat’. The kotch part baffles me a bit .
hahahaha…
i really enjoyed those. good on you….
had a good laugh at these
i think kotchcow comes from the urdu/gujerati, kuch – something, kao- eat, but have no idea how it evolved…
good stuff ms bamjee-mayet! shall definitely be forwarding the “chronic ulcer” one to the kotchcows on campus
The ulcer one hits so close to some people I know.
I wish I could use it on them.
You’ve got a gift sals, and it scares me.
Apparently we have a good friend in common saffs???
Haha ur advances are making my fast makrooh. These are funny!
Hehe these are great
LoL
Really Cool….Hmm I remember the term “kotchcow”
so very funny
Good stuff.
hahahahahahahahaha
They should have a bicycle shed card.
Or the sick note one.
Or the I’m on medication one
brilliant
we used to read the litany of what does and does not break fast but insert
swallowing blood from a bleeding bum
instead of gum.
guaranteed to get you sent out of the madressah class with your guffawing mates.
lol…. love them
lolfr!
“when you care enough to hit send”
here’s to bringing back eid spirit with the same originality we put in to the scissor and glue cards we once upon a far away time made
i wanna copycat but i think i have an appreciate-not-create sense of humour
Lol, how cool! I’d never heard the term kotchcows but I shall be using it quite generously in the next few weeks
Lol, love them!
I remember my sisters and I used to call each other “kotchcows” hehee.
Kudos lass. Love the last two.
A whole lot wittier than those forwarded emails of burgers and coke
Rather humorous.
