South African slang for a severe hangover — the kind that leaves you incapacitated the morning after heavy drinking. Widely used across South African English and deeply embedded in the country's drinking culture. The word comes from Afrikaans, which borrowed it from Zulu or Xhosa, giving it a distinctly South African flavor. It is used openly and without much stigma in casual conversation and is one of those terms that signals authentic South African identity to those who know it.
