'Kolaveri' a rage on the internet and elsewhere is a highly popular slang among Tamil youth normally used to silence a cranky person in a group.

It is among several Tamil words which youngsters use between themselves without implying actual meaning.

Yen indha kolaveri? (why this kolaveri) can be heard in college campuses and other places where youngsters hang around in Tamil Nadu. It is actually used to put off a cranky
person in a group.
The slang has been used by the makers of 3 to depict the anguish of a person who has just tasted rejection from the hands of a girl whom he liked.
