Kasi Slang is vocabulary that shows the flair and humour of official South African languages.

For example, a description of a beautiful woman who you later discover is older than you would go as follows...

"She was a Mini Cooper [slender woman] ya se kasi [here in the township], always looked good in a windek [skinny jean] but later found out she was a Kruger Rand [older lady]."

If you have slang that you want to share with us.. send us your contribution to tellus@sowetan.co.za
