Progress on the Tamil English slang

It's been a while since I posted my progress on the Tamil English slang which I'm trying to document.
Here's e, f, g and h
e - is for empty. - adjective. \ yemp-tee\
definition - as in empty biryani. Biryani rice without pieces of chicken or mutton.
f - is for figure - noun. \fig-er\
definition - a beautifulor sexy girl.
g - is for gym body - phrase. \Jimbaadi\
definition - usually pronounced as a single word, 'jimbaadi', refers to someone whose physique is relatively well honed. If you are stout but not fat and do not have a very visible paunch then a tight t-shirt will also do the trick.
h- is for hot drinks.
definition -an alcoholic beverage.


i - item number - a song and dance sequence in a tamil movie done by a voluptuous young woman who is dressed provocatively. All movies include an item number its part of the formula.  j- jacket - the blouse worn with a saree. All women go to a tailor to have their blouses 
(jackets!) stitched.
k - I haven't found a word for the letter k as yet.
l - leg pees -  The most coveted piece of chicken is the leg pees known to the rest of us as the drumstick.
