XhosaNostra:


A poes. Lol, I'm joking. Though that's the word I'd use as a substitute for a player.

I don't believe there's such a word. IDK. I'm not fluent in the language but I understand it.

Mzansian:



LMFAO, stop it . I'm sure there guards around them when the pic was taken .......just incase .

Deeman1:


"Poes" why do I think this word has a deeper negative meaning that what you tell me. hmmm... XhosaNostra come clean and tell me.. I would guess you are from Zulu tribe,? tell me in what "player" would mean in Zulu then?

@Mzansian an answer from you is also welcomed

Mzansian:



The bolded made me fall on my knees, laughing , how the hell do you know that? sicko . I really can't stop laughing. True, anything can be recycled including " it" . We can't afford to throw away recyclable products when there are struggling sistas out there . #stopwasting.

XhosaNostra:


Yes, it's a negative word to call someone you don't like, similar to the C-word & other variations. Direct translation is p*ssy. But it can be used as an all-inclusive word to mean a sorry excuse of a human being. A scum.

I'm Xhosa, btw. The most popular word we use for anyone with loose morals is "Isifebe". It can be used for both males & females.

Why are you interested in that? Usisifebe (are you a wh*re)?

XhosaNostra:

yeah

Deeman1:


Well I am interested just in-case i happen to meet a SA lady and she calls me any of those words, I understand. I get this a lot with ladies who meet me for the first time and judge me for as a "Player" clearly am not. Also, for learning purpose you know..

XhosaNostra:

Ja.

Martin0:


umntwana olungileyo

XhosaNostra:


Hahaha. Ok.

Deeman1:


I am not planning on visiting SA anytime soon. "I love my head" and news I get from SA about "Xeno.." doesn't please me much. So I am staying put in my country for now.

XhosaNostra:

Yessir. Whatever translating app you're using is good.

XhosaNostra:


South Africans are not all xenophobic. But if that's how you feel, then stay put, broer.

Deeman1:


I am not a "one cap fits all" kind of person i don't stereotype. I know how its like leaving away from one country of his birth. I have dual citizenship and see how the west generalize about Africans as a whole for me i wouldn't project that on any sect. I just feel maybe when i feels tempers in your country go down abit then I would visit. I know you SA people can tell a Nigerian from a mile away. lol

XhosaNostra:


Shrugs.

See you when we see you lol.

Deeman1:


Let me get back to work.. nice chatting with u..

XhosaNostra:
