10 Ways You Know You’re in SOUTH AFRICA
By Drew Binsky [American travel blogger and video maker]
“10 things that represent South African culture (in my humble opinion!)”
- Rusks – “South African heaven”
- Special South African Lingo – howzit, ya (ja) “and the phrase ‘now now’ actually means later!”
- Wimpy – a leading SA fastfood restaurant that’s kind of like McDonald’s mixed with Subway … but the fries are a bit Wimpy
- Biltong – like beef jerky but a lot tastier
- Wild Animals – SA is home to more than 20 national parks
- Braai – used as a noun and a verb, and if you call it a barbecue they will get offended
- Cricket and Rugby – “the two most popular sports in South Africa brought to the country by the Brits… but as a typical American… I’m clueless about rugby and cricket… but they look like fun sports to play”.
- Robots – “maybe the strangest thing in this video! South Africans call traffic lights robots!”
- Lip Ice – “you know it’s a South African talking when they call it lip ice” instead of chapstick or lip balm
- Safety – “you need to check twice if you’ve locked the gate, your house, your car and closed all the windows”.

The young woman who submitted the tech support message below (about her relationship to her husband) presumably did it as a joke. Then she got a reply that was way too good to keep to herself. The tech support people's love advice was hilarious and genius.
The query:
Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed: Desperate
The response (that came weeks later out of the blue)…
Dear Desperate,
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download Snoring Loudly Beta version.
Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.
In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0.
Good Luck
