I remember when I was a kid,they used to say if your ear is ringing and itching,it means someone out there is gossiping about you

lammylam:
something similar to this is if u wear your cloth inside out it means u gonna receive money

Lionessza:
Oh?. Amazing.

mespusinglez:
that's the popular one
I still believe it till date

Lionessza:
Hahahaha , i know that one too. I remember feeling like a celebrity whenever my ear itched lol...I thought there were people out there busy discussing me . I felt so important

Jayceon:
LOL@feeling like a celebrity .I never really believed all these things,I always had my suspicions.Another one that was popular was the twitching left eye,they used to say if your left eye starts twitching it means a relative is going to visit,but then weeks would go by without someone visiting...that's when I started calling the bull*** on these superstitions

Lionessza:
Lol, I know that one too Jayce and I would sleep every night hoping it was my aunt bringing my cousins for a visit and no one ever came lol. Since I'm scared and hate cats , I still believe this one ; seeing a black cat means your trip will be fuckd . I see black cats everyday cos my neighbor has 3 . So I'm forever having bad days .

Lionessza:

Jayceon:
LOL the only thing I use to look forward to if the visitor ever came was the nice meals,I remember my mother would go as far as spending money she really didn't have on some nice food just to impress a visitor,so having a visitor in those days was beneficial LOL

Haha,you still believe the cat one? But I really can't blame you,black cats can be scary sometimes but when I see them I make nothing out of it.I got rid of all the superstitions long time ago

ZarZar:
LMAO. So Leo.

I grew up believing a lot of superstitions because of my mom. She was very superstitious. A few off the top of my head are:
-An itching foot means you wanna run the streets. She'd shout at me if I said my foot was itching because according to her, it meant I didn't wanna stay indoors. With this one, I think she was trying to teach me to enjoy the comforts of home, to stay out of trouble & gossip. As a result, this became nature than nurture.

-Singing or talking while eating will make your voice horrible. Basic etiquette & manners, I guess.

-Checking yourself in the mirror for too long, will make you ugly. Moral of this one, vanity is an unattractive trait.

-Letting someone jump over your head will make you short. This one is TRUE I was jumped so much growing up, which totally ruined my chances & my destiny of becoming a 5'10 model on the Paris runways

Last but not least & my favourite. This one I still practise to this day
-Leaving your hair everywhere, will make you run mad. I think the core is about cleanliness & hygiene, rather than anything else. But anyway, I'm still more protective of my hair than Samson from the Bible. If I go to the salon, I bring a plastic bag for my "golden locks". You'd swear they were strands of gold because of how protective I am over them

Snow84:
Here, if you sit on a mortar(used for pounding ysm) while it's raining, Sango, the god of thunder will strike you dead, grandma would say.

Once grandma is out of sight, I would try, relying on the biblical protection of "no weapons forged against me.. ." Also, collecting rain water with bare hands attracts the same same danger.

Lionessza:
Lol ,leos are born to be celebrities even behind the scenes .

Lmfao, I can totally relate to the jumping over your head one coz I use to fight with anyone who did that , it felt like they were trying to destroy my future achievements lol. And the hair , I used to be obsessed with that one too but not that much now.


Where did you dissappear to? , I thought unxanwe wabhubha . Iweyi yenu I sorted?

ZarZar:
LMAO. Go you!

The spam thing banned me yesterday, so I decided to have a productive day for once Yeah, everything is back to normal now. It was just maintenance. They still have huge, black pipes out though, which probably means, they're not done yet. Ugh!

Lionessza:
Lol, ugh shame. Oh atleast things are back to normal.

Lionessza:
LMFAO , I know about the nice meals and the best plates for visitors and you sit there and wonder why doesn't she do this everyday ? .



I would believe any bad thing about cats , if you told me they are witches I would believe you I'm really scared of those sneaky creatures.

ZarZar:
The funny thing is, the pipes are scaring small children because they look like snakes. My neighbour's son yesterday was standing by the gate in awe. He excitedly told me about the " dead anaconda" outside. He said maybe the municipality workers found it in the hole & killed it. I lol'ed. Kids & active imaginations

Jayceon:
The reason they didn't do it everyday was because money was scarce,tho they did not mind spending their last penny as soon as a visitor showed up at the door.

When it comes to cats,well I guess I just hate the way they stare but as far as those superstitious theories about cats go,I don't know.they are just weird animals.pardon me,but I hate a chameleon more than I hate cats,I hate the way it moves so slow,I hate that disgusting long tongue,and plus it can also camouflage with it's surroundings.what kind of a creature is that one

Aren't there also superstitions about chameleons?

Lionessza:
Hahahaha , i think kids are psychotic people we just don't know it yet lol. A few weekends back my nephew and his mom visited me and he wanted to go pee so I took him to the toilet and he's like , "you see my thing is growing and when I'm older I want it to be bigger and scary like my dad's," illustrating the dad's size with his hands .

Lionessza:
Lol, true.

Yeah the way they stare and move as if they are threatning or daring you scares the shyt out of me . Lol, are they from the same family as frogs? All those sorts of creatures disgust me and to even think there are people keeping them as pets . Smh. I've never had an superstitions about chameleons.

ZarZar:
Lol @ scary like my dad's. The "scarier", the better, young man That's how mummies prefer it

Jayceon:
no.frogs are cute animals,I used to play with them.A chameleon on the other hand is just a creepy animal and if there is one animal that deserves all these superstition,I SWEAR,chameleons is best suited

Lionessza:
Hahahaha, he will learn one day that monsters can be seen as pretty .

Lionessza:
LMFAO, Jayceon it seems like you've heard some nasty encounters with chameleons.

ZarZar:
Btw, I saw this blog the other day & the comments made me laugh. It's about penis size by tribe

Jayceon:
lol I never had any encounter with them,I just HATE them.have you ever had any encounter with the cats?

Lionessza:
Hahahaha, I've heard this venda thing from a lot of people and out of curiosity a few years back, me and sick cousin asked a venda guy who was a friend to show us since we could see there was something massive behind those pants . Lol as crazy as he was he did but wanted to be payed for it , I must say I didn't regret losing a few rands . As for the Xhosa dudes and ego , even the ones with smaller pricks think they are shyt lol. I've always had a thing for tswana men I find them attractive and fun .

Ever tried going the venda route?

ZarZar:
LMFAO. Was it the biggest thing you ever saw or what? No, I have not dated other tribes, except for Xhosa & Tswana. Both were pretty well-packaged, I must say Xhosa guys are egotistical, sex maniacs indeed. My ex would keep you up all night, as if you were on night shift Most Venda guys, no offence, but they're a bit on the ugly side for me lol. I can't go from our pretty boys to that, sorry My cousin dated one for 10 years though, so perhaps it's true. I never asked. Have you ever dated outside your tribe?

Btw, now I'm reminded of something else. Growing up, my friend's house had a shack at the back of the house which they rented to this couple that drank a lot. The guy was called Bigboy. So anyway, on weekends they'd come home drunk as usual. We played at the back too, so we'd hear them having sex in their shack. She used to say, "Nditye Bigboy, nditye nyana kaNomademfu", which was followed by her humming those words in pleasure. LMFAO. It was so hilarious.

Lionessza:
Lol, yes it was the biggest I've ever seen and it kinda looked abnormal to me. I've also only dated Xhosa and tswana , but I've gone to dates with Zulus ( I hated the stereotypes they had of us , so i couldn't go further) . Ndebelele and swati ( I don't think they can handle Xhosa women to be honest , they are always calm and sound too soft, not my cup of tea I like them psycho like my brothers ) . I went out to with a venda he was so smart I loved it but I just couldn't not look beyond the ugliness and he was too cultural and the food he ate was a big no no for me. The guy was so fugly I could not forgive him . I've noticed that Xhosa and tswana guys look and behave alike , maybe that's why I tend to be attracted to them . Lol@ being sex maniacs....I think they do that to satisfy their egos and make sure you never forget it lollll.



O.m.g I couldn't stop laughing at the bolded . Was he unyana ka nomademfu ke ? he must have been a really Bigboy
