This is a picture of a restaurant banner that I took when I was in Kenya in December last year! My friend and I thought it was Supa funny! Now I'm sure you're wondering why the heck we thought it was funny... See in one of the many South African languages - Kuku means cake. It's also used to refer to - erm - the female genitalia! Okay, I'm really not a crude kinda person... But we thought it was so funny how things can be misconstrued just because of a language and/or cultural difference!
Apparently 'Mfalme' means King. So Imagine our shock when we came across this sign... Even funnier was how we both screamed at the same time - as if on cue! We were literally rolling on the floor while bewildered Kenyans stared at us liked we were two crazed banshees! I guess that means if they ever think of having a branch in South Africa they'd have to change the name... Teeheehee...
Happy Friday!
OUT!

This post sorta reminded me of that infamous song by Athur, 'Sika le kheke' Do you remember how anal people became when they heard the song?
I don't think Kuku mfelame will be making any trip down south
LMAO... I actually started liking that song after people went nuts over how crude it was! LOL... I also just though of that one ad... I think it was a Flour ad or something... There's a chic who's like 'Kuku yaka, iyavaya!' Someone just told me it got banned because of that! Now that's some funny *ish rite thuur! Eish, people can be sooo petty!

What's funny is the fact that she's holding a chocolate cake as she's saying that, but people insisted that she was talking about the other 'Kuku'.lol.
