McFreedom

McFreedom is the cheap, hollow imitation of liberation that America somehow feels entitled to push upon countries around the world.

The McFreedom process begins with threats and intimidation to the leader of the victim nation followed by increasingly random and impossible ultimatums. If they don't give in, the American military arrives with their tanks and bombs and starts demolishing the place, all the while handing out junk food and pamphlets to the civilians.

Soon, a new leader who's policy is by extreme coincidence exactly the same as the yank's is "elected by the free people". Within months, McDonalds chains have started to infest the countryside and foreign investors suddenly own all of the country's natural resources.

Anyone who doesn't wax lyrical about how much better things are now is labelled a terrorist and shot.
We've changed your regime! Thanks for the oil, enjoy your McFreedom!

bunny chow

A dish that originated in Durban, but can now be bought all across South Africa. It consists of a half or quarter loaf of bread hollowed out and filled with curry.

They came about because, under apartheid laws, Indian restaurant owners were not allowed to seat black customers, and could only sell them take-aways. They invented bunny chows so they could still sell them a proper serving of curry.

The origin of the word "bunny chow" is unknown.
I'm getting take-aways. Do you want a burger, boerewors roll or bunny chow?

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.

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.

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.

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
