Hey, in your next list I hope you remember, "mwanna waffe". That phrase so gives me the crackers; I brought myself to say it but once and even then I could see it wasn't really natural. Once I was riding with my mom and this guy (a boda-boda rider actually) whizzes past our ride as he says 'ki zack' (yeah, we're on fist-name basis)and me at the steering wheel holler back, 'ki mwanna waffe', my mom's jaw dropped. (for real!!) LOL!!
Max, I was reading this as a poem. I love "stepu ki"!
LOL... I hear "70,000 cars... Japanese cars..." LOL...
Have you been called "size wwange" One that pisse me off though is, "oyo talina sente". Are they sure?
Then the one when they are trying to squeeze in the queue and they are begging on behalf of the driver.
