South African slang shortening of 'boerewors' -- the traditional South African coiled beef sausage seasoned with coriander and spices. Boerewors is central to South African braai (barbecue) culture, and 'wors' as an abbreviation is completely natural in everyday South African English. Saying 'throw some wors on the braai' is as unremarkable in SA as 'put the sausages on the grill' elsewhere.

Boerie is South African slang for boerewors, the iconic coiled sausage that is practically a national symbol of the braai culture. Made from beef (and sometimes pork or lamb) with a blend of coriander, cloves, nutmeg, and other spices, a boerie roll — sliced into a hot dog bun with atchar or chakalaka — is the definitive South African street food. Whether it's at a rugby match, a market stall, or someone's backyard braai, there's a boerie somewhere nearby.
