Strange words in other languages

[Trevor]

Afrikaans is my other first language and it is a wonderful one to speak with many funny sounding words. One of the funniest words is 'Kaalgat' (pronounced Kahl ga it) which means 'bare bum naked'.

[Flick James]

What the Afrikaans word for "underpants?"

[Trevor]

What the Afrikaans word for "underpants?"

It's 'onderbroek' - onder means under and broek means pants.

Dear God in heaven!

All friends here, please take note that this person has repeatedly used the word fokken which means f**k, he has called me a moffie, which means a homosexual - I have many gay and lesbian friends and their sexual orientation is their business, not mine - he has called me a "malletjie" which means mad. He has also forgotten that this is the Off Topic board where anything can be discussed.

Despite this unwarranted attack, I will not say a word against him except to say that his screen name means Blue Balls - meaning that he has not had any sexual relief for some time now.  

Andrew, could I ask you to  deal with this person, please?

From Google translate. He seems more upset about the underpants from what I could gather.

wow, thanks for translating because it just looked like gibberish to me. You are a bigger person than I am because I would say something    He's an ass.

Thanks, AndyC.

I'm still stunned by that attack on me but what makes me  is that this guy said "Ek wil nie onbeskof wees nie" [I have no wish to be rude or insulting] but he was, calling me gay and dropping the Afrikaans version of the f bomb over and over again. 

As I am a bisexual person (NB: celibate for the last six years and proud of it) the "moffie" part of that doesn't bother me but the virulence of his attack does.

[claws]

I think he had issues with all these underpants threads which I believe can appear a bit strange to people not familiar with this site. Resorting to name calling is not cool though.

Wow, I was gone all weekend. Must have missed some drama. I feel like my playful asking of an "underpants" translation inadvertently sparked something.

That's what I thought was weird. This guy jumps on Trevor for talking about underpants when he didn't even raise the subject. Bizarre.

Anyway, there has been a tremendous outpouring of support for Trevor from the entertainment industry:

Going back to the original topic, I'd like to thank the Germans for the word/phrase: backpfeifengesicht, translating to "A face that badly needs to be punched/slapped."

Those Germans. So efficient.
