- In many parts of Haryana, if someone describes a meal as कसूता (kasuta), they are using a word that literally means 'terrible' or 'bad' in other contexts to actually mean it was 'extraordinarily good'.
- In Haryanvi, the word बढ़िया can be used with a specific, sharp rising intonation to imply that something is actually mediocre or even bad, depending entirely on the speaker's sarcasm.
- While बढ़िया is standard, many Haryanvi speakers use the word धाकड़ (dhakad) to describe something 'good' when they mean it is powerful, impressive, or dominant.
