Word of the Day [14 May 2026]
Plumber
In South African football, the term "plumber" is a derogatory slang used to describe a coach, often a foreign one, perceived as underperforming or lacking the intellectual or tactical acumen to succeed in the sport. It implies a coach is more suited to a trade like plumbing than managing a football team.
I see Orlando Pirates just hired a plumber to replace Riveiro.

Mazimba
Shona slang that generally refers to Zimbabweans, particularly in a playful or informal manner. It’s derived from the term “Zimbabwe,” and is often used to describe Zimbabwean people as a group.
someone might say, “Mazimba anoda kuenda kuJoni”—meaning, “Zimbabweans like going to Johannesburg” (often for work or business). The term is typically not derogatory but can carry a sense of national pride or identity in informal conversation.
