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?
