Definitions
Takhaar is a South African slang term, rooted in Afrikaans, that describes someone who is rough, uncultured, or unsophisticated — essentially a bumpkin or backwoods boor. It conjures images of someone who hasn't been 'polished' by city life or formal education. Used informally in South Africa, it can be affectionate ribbing between mates or a more pointed put-down depending on tone and context.
Don't mind him — he's a total takhaar who thinks fine dining is a braai with extra boerewors.
