Soon one won't be driving a 'bakkie' anymore, but a 'coupe utility'.
I think that already started. People get irritated when I say I'm doing something with my bakkie or van because apparently I shouldn't call it that but that's what my dad had to do what it does so I'm used to it.

Too much watching American movies and TV now people refer to their shitty bachelor flat as an apartment.
Was in Nandos in Columbine centre the other day and in front of me two local black guys in front of me talking in quasi American accents and talking how expensive "gas" is for their cars.
I'm American & apartment has no pretentious connotations, condo has more of that effect
What was meant that it's pretentious for South Africans using "overseas terminology"

Heard dudes like this chatting in gautrain one day, I could have sworn these guys were straight from brooklyn or harem, the only thing that gave them away was the occasional venac they used. I found it disgustingly sad because these "Niggas", as they were referring to each other, have lost their identity. I'm an avid hip-hop lover but never thought it necessary to adopt the American culture

In this instance I'd like to speak for the younger generation and say we use words like "nigga,Litty,lituation,slayage,fleek,woke etc."
It's just how speak,has nothing to do with us losing our identity,it has everything to do with listening to artists such as AKA,youth culture isn't loss of identity,it's a movement. And right now,that's what's popping for us.

Bwahahahaha, I didn't know how to say this exact same thing. Yeah. Basically you take a flat that you cannot sell, add 30%, call it an apartment in an "up-and-coming" area and it will sell in a week.
People are suckers for such bullshit.
It's like punani...
A fuck is R500
A girlfriend experience is R1000
