shaka

Shaka (sometimes spelled Tshaka, Tchaka or Chaka; ca. 1787 – ca. 22 September 1828) is widely credited with transforming the Zulu tribe from a small clan into the beginnings of a nation that held sway over that portion of Southern Africa between the Phongolo and Mzimkhulu rivers. His military prowess and destructiveness have been widely credited. One Encyclopaedia Britannica article (Macropaedia Article "Shaka" 1974 ed) asserts that he was something of a military genius for his reforms and innovations. Other writers take a more limited view. Nevertheless, his statesmanship and vigour in assimilating some neighbours and ruling by proxy through others marks him as one of the greatest Zulu chieftains.

Saying "Shaka ? Shaka THIS ash*le" followed immediately but throwing a spear through directly through the eye socket of some wanna be gangster trying to be all Hawaiian like shaking that stupid shaka hand gesture at you - then exclaiming "stupid motherf*cker!"

Shaka

Shaka is a commonly used hand signal in total stoner bros lives. These bros also use the words "fosh (for sure), foshie (for sure cutesy edition), brah(bro,dude,brother from another mother, girlfriend, dog, cat, homeless person, etc.), v (very), p (percent), and yarp (yup,yes,uh-huh). Shaka is supposed to be thrown around as frequently as possible, and anyone, cat, or dog can do this. Put all three fingers down on the palm of your hand, and extend out your pinky and thumb. Shaka is contagious, and it is important to try and get any group of people to do it. Dogs and cats are actually great at Shaka too...in fact they are the best at it. Shaka are also called the hang-loose hand signal, but it's easier to say "throw a Shaka" then to say "throw a hang-loose". Hanging loose is primarily for the mongoose anyway. Shaka must always be capitalized, as it is a totes proper word.

Austin secretly got all his work bros to throw Shaka by doing it over and over for their company photo.
