    General Comment:Dash means to throw violently, and it's kind of a stereotype and it's assumed that everybody from South East Asia eats loads of curry. The whole 'refugee education' etc. . .they're basic lessons that point fun at racism experienced by refugees. She's poking fun of both language patterns that differ in languages [I'm not sure what it's like in Tamil, but in Punjabi we put the verb at the end of the sentence, kind of with German and sub-ordinating conjunctions and use of a second verb]. So she's adopting basic English from an immigrant perspective using wrong word order owing to differing word order patterns [playing on stereotypes]. Dash is also a term of frustration in the UK, so it's - in my opinion- taking the piss out of ill-conceived UK stereotypes. From a British Asian perspective, this song is fucking side splitting.

    General Comment:Curry is an indian spice so she is saying if any one messes her, she is going to dash the curry, or basically resort to her cultural instincts.
