Great. You're welcome to make suggestions. I used to see all kind of Unglish when I was travelling. I haven't done any recently so this list is progressing very slowly.

filmi samples (yours to take or leave as you see fit):
exactly and approximately
do the needful
shorthand to mean "lack of skill" e.g. "Tumhara ladies department shorthand" (you're no good with the ladies) as heard in Dhoom 2
as for Konglish, one-piece as in "one-piece swimsuit" seems to have a risque connotation; one of my students brought it up as an example of clothing items and everyone tittered 0.0
not that that's specifically useful for this list
