Figure-an a paaatha friend a cut pannuvanga!

"Figure a paatha friend a cut pannuvanga"

Heard this before?. People from chennai or fans of Vivek or madhavan would have definitely heard this. For those completely unaware of what i am talking, the literal translation of what i quoted is "When you see a figure (babe, bombshell, gilma, gilfans, girl, beauty...etc), you cut your friends"

Guys often use this phrase when one of their friends has found a girlfriend and stops coming out with his old friends. This has always been associated with guys, not sure why though!. But i would like to modify this and make it more gender neutral!.. I prefer to call it

"Figure-an a paaatha friend a cut pannuvanga", where figure-an refers to a male character rather than the sterotyped female character!
