BlackSaints: It is your stupid,useless hippopotamus bltch of a Mother that is a M0ron idiot .
Your mother's stupidity overflows the Nile River,she insisted on giving birth to a human waste like you even when the down-syndrome in you was detected earlier? or you were born in the 18th century when the methods of abortion weren't so reliable that the dumb b@tch you call a mother had no choice but to put a strain on the beautiful human race by shìtting you?
XhosaNostra: He's bipolar that one He just insulted me, but I'm sure before the clock strikes midnight today, he'll tag me on one of his "blogs" for something.
Only if it was possible to strangle him from here.I was also tagged in that thread where he was talking about us "stealing" his blogs.Can you believe this fools says he's got wife and kids?
TayserMahri: You cant put the blame on us when we depend on media and the most popular SA folks are your politicians, comedians, musicians etc and they always stick to the plan
TayserMahri: Not at all Jace. Your accent is very far from the British exxent Unless you argue that all former British colonies have British accents. The SA accent is very super duper distinct, standalone, peculiar and prominent. As you said, the mother teng does matter as does the schooling, as well as village vs city upbringing. Also sometimes I feel that some humans are more conscious of their conspicuous accents than others. In this dpt Kenya is number 1 slay king on the continent. Our president for instance speaks a less diluted form of english than your presidents ( I think all of them). And if you thought Uhuru is slay king then listen to former president Kibaki (before age caught up with him). Our DP Ruto speaks flawless, almost accent free. Lets not even talk of PLO Lumumba. All in all, the core of the meta here is the humor in the accent, not even the accent itself Trevor knows it best.
You know what's funny? I too find most African accents funny for some reason (Kenya included) .Most foreigners in SA can't even pronounce rand,it always comes out as "randa",where does the last "a" come from? but then again anybody thinks their shìt taste like vanilla...oh well well It's human nature,I guess lol.
XhosaNostra: Lol, the uncle who almost did what? I had only one uncle on my father's side. He was my father's eldest brother. My father had a twin, but his twin died before I was born & because of that, he really bonded with his living brother. Anyway, when my mother was pregnant with me she was sick often & my father couldn't take care of her because he had to work. The uncle then told my father to bring my mother over there at the village, so his wife could look after her until she gives birth. That's why I was born at their house. I was a baby when we left, so I really have no special memories of the place. The uncle I'm talking about is the same one in my topic about justice.
My father's funeral.
I was referring to that uncle who almost wanted to do the dirty with you when you were younger,but now I remember you said that was 2000.Thanks for opening up,now I understand better.You were too young when you lost your parents babes ,not to evoke those memories but I take it must have been the hardest times in your life.I apologise in advance if I'm being too deep.
There's really nothing to miss because I didn't grow up there. I used to visit my father's relatives (the crooked uncle) when I was much younger. The last time I was there was in 1997 for the funeral, after that I never went again. You're right, it's very tranquil. We used to play around everywhere without fear. It was safe. IDK now.
okay.Are we talking about the crooked uncle who almost did the....ahhh,you know .that's like 22 years ago,I'm sure the memories are gradually fading.Who's funeral was it?
XhosaNostra: What's KWT? Unathi is from Grahamstown aka eRhini. If they toured EL, then they probably were closer to home. Ciskei is also beautiful though.
I'm not gonna tell you which one is my village, but it's one of the pics I'm gonna post
lol I was too lazy to write King William's Town in full,hence KWT,sorry about.Very beautiful pictures,the scenery looks so lush for relaxation.Don't you just miss home when you look at all these pictures,especially when the urban life gets stressful?
XhosaNostra: I'm sure they went to Transkei, that's where most of the greenery is. My family we're form Ciskei. I was actually born in a small village in King William's Town, that's where my dad is originally from, but of course I grew up in EL. Never been to the Transkei even though one of my aunts married a guy from there.
Hmmm I don't remember which part the wedding was in but they also did an EL tour,I'll ask them.Isn't Unathi also from KWT? she used to talk about it a lot back in her Metro FM days.
Come over to the EC any time. A personal invitation to you, my friend. Maybe I'll invite to a function when we have one
Thank you .btw,have I told that some of my family members were invited to the wedding in the EC by my sister's boss in 2014 and I couldn't make it? they still have the pictures and I must say Eastern Cape is so green.Still breaks my heart that I missed out.
XhosaNostra: Una no go kee pesin pikin with your wahala. No say me no tok am when dem Gwarimpa boys dey come kick your yansh
Btw, "Pesin pikin" is such fun phrase to use, right?
Dey mouf don chop too much garri and snake soup,you know you can't compose lucid sentences once you eat that,so I dey just gonna do fine even wen 10 of dem show up
Neh? ,but also,I think "olosho" runs off the tongue smoothly
Remember the children of Noah in the bible One of Noahs son that saw his unclothedness and Noah layed a curse on him. That son he cursed migrated to Africa and became the father of Africa. Africa is the only continent on earth that is still backward from the rest. It is not ordinary, it is a curse.
Come on now! what does the Chinaman's innovations got to do with Africa being cursed? maybe you need to get rid of your "keeping up with the Jones" mentality.Africans are mentaly lazy,true that,but cursed?,no no I can't call it.
XhosaNostra: What you're saying is true to an extent, but there're also other influences like educational background. You won't find someone who went to a good school speaking with a "comrade accent" as you call it. They pronounce words correctly, which makes their accent a little different & I'm not talking about the "twangers", but people like Trevor. Anyway, do we even have a standard accent as black South Africans? Because the likes of lamama who's a minister of education (Naledi Pandor), Ramaphosa & other public figures, they all sound distinguishable.
Oh yeah,true that.Private school kids are more likely to speak with a model C accent as it is called.When Jon Stuart first I introduced Trevor some Americans thought he was British,I still remember his critics asking "why is this British guy hosting a show about American politics?".Honestly,we don't have a standard accent which pretty much explain why our accents are one of the hardest to copy,even American actors don't know how to sound South African when they portray a South African character.
XhosaNostra: It always makes me laugh when people say things like "Bleks", "Cowntry" etc, as if we all pronounce words like that. Not knowing that we also have people with better diction. Malema's accent is probably a Seshego accent, although I've met people from there who enunciate words differently.
Exactly.Actually,South African accents sometimes vary according to native language with which one speaks and the region one grew up in.Some people would argue that SA accent is a bit closer to British accent because of the colonial influence of course.How Malema speaks may be because of the Pedi dialect in Seshego or he is just doing it on purpose to annoy white people.The outsiders think we all speak with the "comrade accent" and that's so further from the truth.
XhosaNostra: Lol, I think they listen to some accents from the likes of Malema & think we all talk like that.
Haha.They got their heads far up his rectum they can't even do research.Everything they learn about SA is through Malema,and that's not a reliable source.
