Modri : Pronounced ‘mondri’. Fijian for a person or age group who are younger then you; Also if they’re young and annoy you in any sort of way.
I went to the clubs but forgot that today was the Coke games. Thing was packed with modris saraga.
When were you born? 85? Ooooh you modri.

85!!! no way….85 is NOT modri….if 85 is modri then i think its more a case of YOU being QASE (and yes, you can create a whole different post to explain that one!)
I am 84 born and I reiterate…85 is NOT modri..perhaps you can add a ps to the definition…
P.S. the term ‘modri’ is subjective.

Good point – the term modri is sorta subjective to your point of view to what is young XD

My mother says modri to older folks is a swear word. Something along the lines of being “underdeveloped” in private areas or lacking certain body “traits” associated with puberty. To me that’s not so much a swear, maybe just rude. Ever heard of this?

Not really, but you bring an interesting point in the use of the word and the fact that the older generation have been using it for awhile. Or maybe it’s a newly coined term for the upcoming youngsters, the unfortunate us >< In any circumstance, its good to hear another point of view on a common slang, swear word or not
