In Kikuyu language, KIHII is not derogatory. It is used to imply an uncut male (especially beyond 13 years of age). That is actually their title or part of it. It is what they are. Just like we have other titles like Hon, Mr, HE, Ms, Miss, we do also have the title KIHII. It is calling a goat, a goat.
If the uncut male is just a young boy, we call them KAHII..(small boy)Interchanging the two is funny but not derogatory...lol.
Imagining calling a 30 something years old uncut kikuyu man, Kahii - small boy? heh. That will be 'a funny sounding insult"
KIHII (IHII) is also used officially to imply "sons of". Actually, irrespective of your age, your father will introduce you as "IHII ciakwa" or "KIHII giakwa" to his agemates. The wives, the girls, the cows and the goats will be grouped together and introduced as "indo ciakwa".
And when we refers to a group of small boys (tuhii) as IHII, it is usually not derogatory. It no big deal. The word is also used to denote a behaviour characterised by restlessness; insatiable appetite for food in public events; a baboon-ic behaviour (all over) (ta nugu kana theru); disruptive, cunny and annoying behaviour. They always behave like small baboons, very disorderly, disruptive and annoying. They dont mind be called that especially in public functions where there is scramble for food.
But we also use the word KIHII to officially refer to a grown up man, cut or uncut, who behaves like a boy!! That is also not derogatory, it is their very befitting title. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. The duck test!!
The kalenjins seems to have a similar problem. They must have copied from the People of the Mountain.
By the way, when someone says "wina waana", uko na ubaby, that person will have dragged you down the "uhii highway and left you at "waana avenue". He implies that, you are not just a boy but a toddler in diapers. From being Boyish to being Baby-ish.
We have no time to baby-sit grown up men.
Andu matige ubaby; andu matige Uhii....

@Cornelius, I don't mean to offend but, uncut "plane" is like a sprinkler. It splashes urine in all directions. I pity those guys who stand next to them in the urinal, because some droplets can fall on their faces...

He should have known better - right? All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Conman Muhammad had not figured out that part which is why you can't answer a single question @lonest, you talk of what you don't know. You demonstrate ignorance of Islam every time you talk. And you are full of malice and hatred. See the below words of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w It was narrated Abu Huraira that the Prophet said " Five things are in accordance with Al Fitra (i.e. the tradition of prophets including Abrhama, Moses, David, Jesus etc): to be circumcised, to shave the pelvic region, to pull out the hair of the armpits, to cut short the moustaches, and to clip the nails.' (Al-Bukhari Volume 8: Book 74: Hadith 312) It was narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, " Abraham did his circumcision with an adze at the age of eighty." (Al-Bukhari : Volume 4 : Book 55 : Hadith 575) Good! Then circumcise! @lonest, Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to follow the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). When He says: " Then We inspired you: 'Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright in Faith'." (Quran 16:123) That is why we circumcise our boys when infants as was narrated by Abdullah Ibn Jabir (r.a.) and Aisha (r.a.) in Hadith that: " The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Aqiqah of al-Hasan and al-Hussein (the prophets grandsons) and circumcised them on the 7th. day."  Thanks bro, What about converts beyond that age? @lonest, good question. Circumcision is not compulsory in Islam. It is optional. If the new reverts do not want, it does not make them less of successful in this world or next life. Circumcision in Islam is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for health and hygienic reasons, as I already stated here

Would that not be unwise according to your reasoning? You and me are born illiterate and we would have remained that way if we were not educated on how to read and write. Those millions of people who never learn to read or write, by your definition should remain like that to demonistrate "the wisdom of creator", right?

Anthropomorphic ideas of God among city elites are quite telling. Anyway, http://mobile.nation.co....ml/-/dvqisk/-/index.html

If you don't speak for God, then don't question God. 2. About comparison, I had to give you equality dumb analogy to your question. You see, there are so many things we "modify" in our bodies. Just as illiteracy is the natural form, why would God create it? Similarly, how about cutting hair or nails? Using your logic, may be they were meant to be grown long as it is "natural form", right?
