Original PenguinMen's Heather Grey Winter Basic Crew

No bull, just ship!

With South Africa being home to so many different languages, we certainly have our work cut out for us when we look at all the different slang terms we use on a daily basis - not to mention Gen Z and their unique vernacular, which is always 'giving'... we're not sure what.

There are multiple ways to say the same thing in South Africa. 'Bro' can be 'bruh' or 'brah' depending on where you're from, and can also be anything from 'boet' to 'ntwana yam', depending on who you're talking to. 'Cool' can be 'kwaai', 'jas', 'lekker' and any number of other terms.

One phrase that isn't necessarily South African but is understood by everyone is 'cruising for a bruising' - which is exactly what France was last weekend, and what England are sure to be soon. Speaking of cruising, check out our deal on a 4-night cruise for 2 people aboard the MSC Splendida! How kwaai is that?
