"you don't caapy"

"Samveeth (Samvith), you don't caapy (copy), take it a five anna coin, poot(put) it on Pooja Bhatt's navel, and shake shake shake" (spoken in a musical tone)
Peter's (child abuser biology teacher) sarcastic response to my question "Sir, should we copy"
Background: Peter walk's into the class and without saying a word, starts drawing the anatomy of the human body. Intestines, esophagus and all. He never actually told the class to copy it down. After 40 mins of a rather detailed and artistic drawing that incorporated the use of multiple colors of chalk (which was in itself a rarity). Peter was done. So impressed he was with his own little masterpiece that he began to write the words "please omit" right next to it (so that the next teacher wouldn't erase it).
I, as usual, was oblivious to the class (who were actually copying it down). Also, technically, he never actually asked us to copy it (cause he started drawing it without saying a word). So I just wasted the class away. When it finally occurred to me that he was probably drawing up this thing for us to copy, I made the foolish (or bold-there’s a fine line) move to confirm the obvious. And asked him if we were expected to copy the diagram.
His response (above) was supposed to be as sarcastic as possible and needless to say, the whole class found it rather hilarious.
