A slang term the people of Madagascar use for white foreigners. Used in the same way that gwai lo or gringo might be used (in China or Mexico respectively). It is typically slightly derogatory but can be used neutrally especially amongst friends.
1) "Hey vazah, what's happening? I haven't seen your white ass around here in a while."
or
2) Vazah! Vazah! Vazah! (while yelling, pointing, and possibly laughing)

A unit of measure that is 1/1000th of an inch. The term can also be used interchangeably with "thou" witch is simply much shorter than saying "thousandths of an inch". The advent of the metric system has generated some confusion as some have used the term "mil" as an abbreviation for the millimeter (mm). The only thing that they share is that each is 1000th of something. The traditional "mil" is 1 thousandth of an inch and the millimeter is 1 thousandth of a meter.
Although the unit seems impossibly small it is very common in industries where an inch is absurdly large such as film (for plastic bags), foil, and wires.
1 mil = 1 thou = 0.001" = 0.0254mm

This is a pretty precise measuring tool, it says that a single strand of my hair is 2 mil thick.
No wonder the bags keep ripping there only 1 mil thick. See if you can order 3 mil bags.
