Dezemba -Is a season of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. A lifestyle. A feeling. A season of festivities. It begins around the 3rd quarter of the 10th month of the year and ends on or before the 7th day of the 1st month of the following year. Dezemba sometimes ends with your life savings being overdrawn, but that's a topic for another day. Children are conceived in Dezemba, and relationships start and end in Dezemba. You can hear Dezemba in the music, you can taste it in your food, and your drinks taste better in Dezemba. The sun shines that much brighter because it's Dezemba. Dezemba is tangible.

People are expected and encouraged to walk around shouting "Ke Dezemba!" at random during this season.

A word's origins emerge from South African summer time but its epistemology is from the word December. December being the twelfth and final month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars. It is the seventh and last month to have a length of 31 days.

Dezemba is the feeling that comes with summertime.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
