Ungawa

Contrary to every other definition on urban dictionary, Ungawa is a bastardization of a Swahili word meaning, "Be quiet and listen to me!"

"Ungawa!" is often used alone, basically meaning, quiet down and listen to me!

Ungawa

Like the other guy said, it seems to originate in Tarzan movies but it was co-opted by Black teens in Oakland during the 70s (I'm okay about being corrected here - earlier?) as a slang power-grunt.

I'd love to see someone provide additional words to my example. It's been a LONG time...

Foot-stomping chant (by late 70s it was used by cheerleaders and double-dutch):

Ungh, ungawa
Momma's got the powa
I said it, I meant it
I'm here to represent it
My back is achin', My belt's too tight
My hips are shakin' from left to right...

Ungapatchka

Yiddish noun or adjective, denoting excessive ornamentation or kitsch.

Some think Mondrian's paintings minimalistic, but I find them quite ungapatchka.
