The Guide to Sleeping in Airports 15 slang phrases you'll need to know in South Africa 1. Shame! This is an endearing term that is used by South Africans in just about every social situation. Seriously, when in doubt, just say “Ag shame” and your sentiment will be greatly appreciated. Example: A: “I just got a new puppy.” 2. Ag — pronounced “Ach” — is a filler word. “Ag, I had a great time last night.” 3. Best used when you have absolutely no clue what somebody is talking about but don’t want to sound like a dofkop (stupid head). A: “I’m currently analysing the two different types of software, SAP and ORACLE.” 4. These two words are often used in succession to express agreement or confirmation. “Ja, nee I’m fine thanks.” 5. This is an expression of resignation. A: “The school fees have increased by over 20% this year?” 6. You may be thinking that you know exactly what this means. So, if a South African ever says to you “I’ll do it just now” or “I’ll be there just now,” don’t expect it to happen anytime soon. 7. Have you ever done anything just because? A: “Why are you laughing?”
