All South African words that make me laugh
Why say ‘I love you’ when you can say ‘Ek is lief vir jou!’?
Seriously, Afrikaans is totally awesome. I also find the words hilarious, which A: seem way too crude to us and B: often describe the object so literally that it becomes downright funny. Heading that way soon? Don't be surprised if you hear these words.
Barely pants
I’m cracking up. So that’s a string.
Eye pleasure
Yes, someone who is a pleasure to the eye: a.k.a. a hottie.
Loose piece
Do you have a girlfriend? No, I’m a loose piece. HAHA. It’s completely permissible to be promiscuous as a loose piece, a.k.a. single.
Coffee muffin
I can imagine that not all flight attendants will appreciate this - translation-wise - but can I just say that I find this humorous?
Wobble mat
Now you might think of an exotic sex chair but no, a wobble mat is just a trampoline. The kind kids play on, you know, so watch your language.
Seed sock
Sometimes life is that simple. A kind of sock where you release your seed. A seed sock. From now on I will never say condom again.
Hollow roll
The roll with which you wipe your eh - exactly - yourself. Enter toilet paper! ‘Honey, can you pass me a piece of hollow roll?’
Box viewer
Without the use of a seed sock, you might end up with the box viewer. THE GYNECOLOGIST HAHA.
Blunder water
Also known as Tipp-Ex with us, but honestly, this is much more fun, right?
Mouth broom
And especially scrub well on the left and right to prevent plaque, don’t forget. Yes, a mouth broom is a toothbrush.
Plant eater
Yes, a vegetarian HAHA.
Burning mouth sauce
Anyone want a drop of tabasco? Your mouth will burn, be careful.
Groundnut butter
Anyone want a sandwich with groundnut butter? No? Peanut butter, man!
Sweet suit
As always, to be taken very literally. Right: a tracksuit.
So, why are we still speaking Dutch?
