Zat net te peinzen hoe die gruwelijke martel/moordpraktijk met een
brandende autoband ook al weer genoemd werd in het Engels, toen ik me
afvroeg of er ook een Afrikaanse term voor bestaat....?
Inmiddels raakt deze methode in Nederland in zwang bij verkeerskamera's,
vandaar....;-))
Btw, komt deze methode van oorsprong inderdaad uit SA, of uit een ander
Afrikaans land?
Slegs nieuwsgierig....;-))

The desire to understand
is sometimes far less intelligent than
the inability to understand
Recalling that promotional on TOON for "Dexter's Laboratory" amounting
essentially to a mini-cartoon (what with Dee-Dee ruining another of
Dexter's experiments, forcing Dexter to call his usual parts
source)--not to mention its potential permutations for combining the
English-language prompt with another language (Spanish being the one in
use on the advert)--leaves me to imagine what it would be like if he
were given the prompts in English and Afrikaans (the latter the Rodney
Dangerfield of languages, as it were, especially given its unsavoury
past vis-a-vis the apartheid regime):
"Hi--you have reached the Big Expensive Parts Line! [Hi--jy het bereik
die Groot Duure Dele Lyn!]
"To proceed in English, press one. Om in Afrikaans te voortgaan, druk
twee."
[DEXTER presses for the Afrikaans option.]
"Jy het aangedui dat jy wat wens word om in Afrikaans te voortgaan. As
dat is regmaak, druk een; indien nie, druk twee."
[DEXTER confirms his selecting the Afrikaans option.]
"Jy het aangedui dat ons was in aanvaar jy wat wens word om in Afrikaans
te voortgaan. As dat is regmaak, druk een; indien nie, druk twee."
[DEXTER, by now looking impatient, makes clear he DID want to proceed in
Afrikaans.]
"Asseblief vashou." [Background music being something on the order of
Afrikaner folk music and ballads, in Afrikaans for the most part.]
At least I WAS able to bring in some variety to the "Dexter's
Laboratory" promo in question by suggesting an Afrikaans-language option
to such an advert as this....

First, please forgive me for posting to this group in English. I left S.A. as a
child and my Afrikaans is very poor now.
Wondering if any of the members of this newsgroup could help me out on this
one:
A man who works in my office here in the U.S. has a hobby of collecting
information of sports and games played throughout the world. One of his
interests is in (forgive the spelling) jutskie. Although I am originally from
S.A., I left when I was a child and remember almost nothing of the game. This
guy pesters me daily to wrack my brains for information on the rules and other
details. So, if anyone here could point me towards information on the internet
that I can find some details on Jutskie, I sure would appreciate the help.
Please e-mail me, as I don't visit this newsgroup often.
