South African Slang List

People in Michigan call it "pop" , my dad calls it "cola" and everyone else calls it "soda".  Slang is EVERYWHERE and it can certainly change the course of a conversation if someone has no idea what a word means.  Hence, I am starting a ZA slang list that is imperative for any foreigner that wishes to blend in.

South African Slang-->American Translation + example
bru---brother (Wassup, my bru?)
chuffed---happy (She was so chuffed when she saw all As on her report card!)
crusty---nasty (Her hair was so crusty after going three days without a shower)
hosing--laughing hysterically (When I told her the joke about the two muffins in the oven she was hosing herself!)
jam--jelly (It still works to say PB&J in South Africa since the J can stand for jam or jelly!)
jelly---jello (When I was sick all I wanted was that blue jelly)
jersey--shirt (She got syrup on my jersey!?!?! Noooooo)

shot--thanks (Bru, shot for dropping my stuff off last night)
skiff--- to judge, to eye up and down (Emma and Mary had always been enemies and it was obvious when they skiffed each other in the hallway)
