28 mins confidence: 
yes and no Explanation: I doubt if it is meant as an insult, but it certainly sounds insulting. I have no idea what "millies" might be, although from the context I deduce that it is undoubtedly some bodypart, possibly the neck, the head or the nether regions. The literal translation would be "full of shit in the [bodypart]", but an idiomatic translation may well be simply "full of nonsense". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-19 13:01:53 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- O, and the correct spelling would be \"vol kak in die millies\". |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Gaan kak in die mielies. Explanation: I think this is what the asker should have asked. Rather rude, but not massively so. Literally translated: Go and have a crap in the maize (corn). Known Afrikaans expression. Rather childish. Meaning: Go to blazes! |
