Telkom

After the ANC, Telkom is South Africa's largest crime syndicate.

Their modus operandi is to force other companies into selling their products for them under duress, extort ungodly fees out of their customers, particularly on ADSL lines, with broadband prices 10 times or more than overseas, and up to 100 times more on leased lines.

They resort to thuggery and intimidation such as sending technicians to disconnect you for no reason, charging you for non-existent calls and unexplained tariffs and staffing their call centres with retarded unionised sociopaths.

Their main partners in crime are Eskom and Sasol.
It's a proven fact that if you fly 1st class to Hong Kong, stay in a 5 star hotel, buy a laptop, download 100GB onto it and fly back, it will be both QUICKER and CHEAPER than if you stayed in SA and downloaded it on a Telkom line.

bakkie

S. Afr. word for pickup truck. Pronounced "bucky"

The bakkie holds the same place in the heart and soul of the South African dutchman as the pickup does in that of the American redneck.
Koos will bring a braai and some fishing tackle in his bakkie.

reg soup

In scuba diving, having reg soup means vomiting into your regulator.

This usually occurs as a result of seasickness, a heavy night out at the dive camp, or a combination of both.

When you make reg soup, your choices are to purge your reg and breath through your own puke for the rest of your dive and hope nobody notices, or switch to your spare reg and look like an idiot in front of your whole dive group.
Dave: Those were some big swells out there. Getting back into the boat was tough.
Steve: I know. Mike had reg soup during the deco stop.
Dave: Ha ha! What a chop!

train surfing

An extreme sport popular in Soweto, South Africa.

It includes things like hanging onto a moving train and sliding your feet on the platform, standing on the roof and dodging powerlines, jumping on and off repeatedly, jumping from a bridge onto a moving train and jumping between carriages. The more dangerous the stunt, the better.

It is illegal, and fatalities are common
Sipho and Themba went train surfing from Dobsonville to Orlando.

malemism

1. An outrageous, offensive, insensitive and retarded statement.

2. One of such statements made by (not so youthful) ANC Youth League boss Julius Malema.

3. The South African equivalent of a Bushism.
Some examples of malemisms are:

"We will kill for Zuma"
"We shall rule until Jesus returns"
"I only debate with serious political youth"
"We must intensify the struggle to eliminate the remnants of counter-revolution."(he said this one at a funeral)
"Forces that are opposed to our revolution are still here. We must change the management of this university and also the lecturers." (this despite the fact that he failed matric, and never went to university himself)

beertini

A cocktail for normal people to order at beach bars, gay bars or preppy cocktail lounges.

The mixological formula is:

1 shot of beer
2 more shots of beer
Top up with beer and serve in a beer glass
So that's a margarita for Lara, 2 mojitos for Sassy and Cleo. Me, Joey and Stoffels will each have a beertini.

John Connor syndrome

That feeling you get that your life is pointless and unfulfilled, and that you'd only find your true place in the world when the apocalypse comes (Then you'd be a legend!)
Typical John Connor syndrome sufferer:
My job sucks, my family hates me. But I still feel like I ought to be a somebody. If only something really, really bad would happen, like the zombie apocalypse or something, so I could be a hero...
