Hangova Meaning

हैंगओवा

Hangova is a playful desi spelling of 'hangover'. Beyond the morning-after haze of drinking, songs use it for the after-effect of a person — the feeling of someone that lingers long after they have gone.

Where Hangova comes from

A modern transliteration of the English word hangover into Hindi-Urdu song vocabulary — a recent borrowing rather than a classical term.
