    HELLO EVERYONE!,
    First of all, I know this isn't really Introduce Yourself! but it's kinda introducing your culture/country.
    So, I was wondering about different words for different things all around that world i.e. crisps,chips etc.
    So I thought how about make a thread about what we call certain things in South Africa, and I thought you can reply with what you guys call it in either your City or Country!

    LET'S START!
    Sample Word: What We Call It:
    Chips | Slap Chips
    Pick-up Truck | Bakkie
    Syrup Doughnut | Vetkoek (Fat cake)
    Mini-Bus | Taxi
    Good | Lekker
    Barbeque | Braai


    There's just a few, feel free to add your own!
