A rather pompous git (A) at CFS was expounding his views about foreign linguists. "Everyone should be able to speak at least one other languauge", he opined. Another mate (B) seizes his chance...
B: "So what other language do you speak to make that claim then, mate?"
A: "I was brought up in colonial Africa and can speak Zulu!"
B:"Goodness, how clever. OK - what's the Zulu for, aaah, 'river'?"
A: "Mbolo" (or whatever)
B: "Brave leopard?"
A: "Ndofi mwaza" (or whatever)
B: "Stupid ape?"
A: "Nugu ndabulu"
B: "Fascinating, mate. Guess from now one you're going to be known as Nugu!"
And 'Nugu' or 'Noogs' he became. He hated it!!
