stellenbosch

(South Africa) A small bush.

(transitive, chiefly, South Africa) To unsaddle; remove the saddle from.

A South African term for a small bush or shrub, derived from the Afrikaans word for bush. In the South African landscape — which ranges from fynbos to bushveld — bossies (plural) are everywhere, and the word is part of everyday Afrikaans-influenced English vocabulary. The word also appears in informal South African expressions and children's games played outdoors, and it carries a distinctly local, sun-drenched character.

(South Africa, transitive) To beat; to thrash.
