Boy: whose that?
Other boy: don’t know, she’s fine, must be a Bongile
Bongiwe is a strong, influential and stubborn person. Bongiwe can be extremely sensitive, and is loyal to the ones she loves. However, she doesn't have the patience to mess around with people who will only waste her time.
She is extremely passionate and pretty flawless when it comes to exuding confidence. Slightly theatrical. The term "give up" is simply not a part of her vocabulary and no matter how long it takes, she will win the battle.
Simply summed up: She is Beyoncé

"All shops in the highlands retailing to 'visitors' (bonglies, grockles, terrorists etc) are obliged to play enya & celtic harp wailing"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
