Adapt or die

The infamous catchphrase of PW Botha,delivered in his growling TV speeches during the late 1980s. Basically: "Whites must reform apartheid a bit or face total collapse from unrest, sanctions, and the ANC — adapt or die." It became a dark meme for his stubborn "Total Strategy" — pretend to change while cracking down harder with states of emergency, troops in townships, and cross-border raids.

Township response? Comrades flipped it: "We won't adapt — apartheid must die." Turned his threat into fuel for the struggle.
"PW Botha on TV: 'Adapt or die!' Meanwhile the youth were like, 'Nah bru, you adapt or we make you die — ungovernable style.'"**Adapt or Die**

*noun/phrase* (South African apartheid-era slang, 1980s vibe)

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
