Sober. Never used to drink

A friend of mine could really ape the monkeys so we called him 'MONKEY' the theory behind it being that when he was young they lived next to a forest and since they had no neighbour with a child his playmates were the monkies

This thread makes me remember a female teacher in high school who used not to have a proper shape so we would call him sexless.

Then another one who was old,used to be called gacucu.

A teacher in highschool.... Was known as Ngoya. ..couldn't say ngoja...had a stammerin problem when much younger so to slow u from talkin too fast...he'd say 'ngoya...ngoya..ngoya kitoko!' My third monday in the school was very painful when i went to the staffroom n requested to see my class teacher Mr Ngoya Kitoko! It was in ukambani....how was i to know those aren't kamba names but a swa phrase!?

when in form one,there is this 'joker/mono' who was hit by a fourth former so hard in his chest that he couldnt breath well( i think it was against some hard object)..when asked where he was hit,..'thorax'....n s o he became THORAX.

A teacher who was on duty reading out the announcements while on assembly...'kutakuwa,na kidumbwedumbwe...'reffering to some inter-class soccer match,he was hence nicknamed KIDUMBWEDUMBWE.

be happy!
