An 'Oertel' (Afrikaans term) is the name given to a small creature that has somehow found his way into the world, but its existence is so new that it has no name/classification yet, so we call it an 'oertel'. It can also be used as a term of endearment.
1. Look at that little 'oertel'. Isn't it oddly cute?

2. Mom: Why didn't you wash the dishes today, oertel?

His a very caring human being for anyone. Once you hurt his loved ones though watch out because he will come for you. His very smart and thinks he knows everything and try’s to prove you wrong. But you can’t help but loving him. He doesn’t blush easy but when he does his adorable.

He will never disappoint you when he makes a promise. His late, and annoying sometimes but his a soulmate and a good man. And his funny he comes up with funny stuff. Plays video games too much but knows when to put it down. His the best man you can ever see.

girl grip 

The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
