S. Afr. slang for a white person.

Stands for Previously Advantaged Now DisAdvantaged.

It comes from the politically correct South African bullshit euphemism "previously disadvantaged" which means everyone who is not white, and hence is eligible for affirmative action.

Steve: Don't even bother. You're a PANDA, bru.

blue train 

A drink common among the dodgier elements of the Cape Town population.

One makes a blue train by filtering methylated spirits through a loaf of bread in order to remove the bitter-tasting purple dye (In South Africa, the dye is mandatory in order to prevent it's use as a beverage). Since only the dye is removed, not the kerosene, methanol, isopropanol etc, it gets you smashed off your head, but may cause vomiting, headaches, seizures, blindness and/or death.

It is called blue train because the thoroughly dyed loaf resembles the Blue Train, an ultra-luxury overnight passenger train between Joburg and Cape Town.
Dave's actually started drinking blue train. Now that's a rock-bottom alcoholic!
