Slang : nai thara (Naa-Yee Tha-raaaa) (adj)
Literal Meaning: Dog Like or Like a Doggie or Mutt Like or Canine Like
Hindi Equavalent : Kutte ki tharah:
Eg: Arrey yaaar,aaj tho Mysore Road Kutte ki tharah Jam tha.
Oh! Friend,Today the Mysore Road was jammed like a Dog!

Synonyms(Slangs) : Sakkath,Super,Bombbat,ulti.
Antonymns(Slangs) : Shaa thara.
Usage : something which demands a superlative qualification in a good sense,
Instead of saying that something is 'amazing' or 'awesome'(which has become overtly clichéd BTW),this usage of 'nai thara' seems more original but nevertheless ....umm... slum-like(explanation needed).

Examples:
1) macha, Aero-show mathra nai thara itthu lo!
Buddy,Aero-show was awesome(Dog like) man!

2) Ivattanthu naanu nai thara enjoy maadide.
Today,i enjoyed like a dog(umm.???).
