Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

An Indian and South Asian culinary term for dried plum (prune), commonly used in Indian cooking — particularly in biryanis, meat dishes, and chutneys — to add a sweet-sour depth of flavour. The name literally means 'plum of Bukhara,' referencing the Uzbek city historically famed for its plums. Widely understood across the Indian subcontinent and in South Asian diaspora communities. It appears on restaurant menus and in recipe contexts rather than in casual slang usage.
