peer agreement (net): +1Good afternoon. How are you, stupid baboon? Explanation: You have the word order wrong. It should read: "Hoe gaan dit met jou, dom bobbejaan?" It's not really vulgar. Depends who is being addressed and in what way. A friend could mockingly use it to address another friend. Could also be very insulting if used to address a stranger (of, say, another race). |
