An offering of a few South African verbal apbbreviations you may enjoy: Eish (prounounced Aysh) Common term that denotes a wide range of emotions from joy and surprise to confusion and anger. When in doubt, use it. Jol Party. Can be used as either a noun or verb, as in “That was a lekker jol” or “I went jolling last night and only got back late. Just now An indeterminate amount of time. If a waiter says “I’ll be with you just now”, it could mean anything from five minutes to 30, to never”. Lekker Lakka Great, awesome, amazing. Now-now Not to be confused with “just now”. “Now-now” is a much smaller indeterminate amount of time. Hmm. Don’t worry....we don't Sharp-sharp Okay. This is a complicated one. An expression of agreement. Or a greeting. Or a way of saying goodbye. Or a way of saying “Okay, sure”. Or a still smaller indeterminate amount of time. Or a way of saying quickly. Or a way of....forget it.......... :) Love your site!
