Merriam-Webster's word of the day is garderobe and it could be a wardrobe or it's contents; a private room: bedroom; or a privy/toilet. How confusing is that? I suppose it is all context. Two new words for the week, a bit of slang..bolshy - gutsy, with an attitude; cojones was also used to define the word. Over the weekend, someone else talked about...ok, I have to find some clarification for you but I thought they said spading, "should I stop spading you," and was told it meant flirting. Then I mentioned it at work and they said the term was speening and it was Cape Flats slang for going out. So I am still thinking the term is spading, because then speening doesn't fit the context. The Cape Flats are considered the worst area, basically never go there.
Which brings me to another Cape Flats trend I read about last week. The "passion gap," people have their front 4 top teeth pulled for fashion. It is said to improve kissing and other things.
And, in my life...Had a birthday party at our house for my housemate Fritz on Friday. Jules made Mexican Hot Chocolate. He puts chile in it and pours it over an egg to thicken it (?). It has a bite at the end.
In puppy news, I have been bringing Vuyo to work for the past few days, but have learned that Muslims consider dogs to be dirty. Basically if a dog touches a Muslim, they have to change clothes before praying, that is my understanding and I think there are probably variations. Vuyo takes off while he is we are in the garden. Find him, take him upstairs and get a call later - he has pooped in the executive director's office and a Muslim coworker stepped in it. My executive director said it was fine, he's a puppy. Keeping him on the leash now, because I am in charge :) and I can watch for when he needs to go outside, but my programme loves having him around.
I'll try not to turn this into a blog about my dog. :) No exciting pictures this week, but I am going away to the Cedarberg this weekend.
