South African slang for something rotten, disgusting, or in terrible condition — borrowed straight from Afrikaans where it literally means 'rotten'.
South African slang for something rotten, disgusting, or in terrible condition — borrowed straight from Afrikaans where it literally means 'rotten'. But in South African English slang it's gotten much wider mileage: a vrot plan is a terrible idea, a vrot performance is an embarrassing one, and if something smells vrot, you're not staying near it. Punchy, versatile, and deeply embedded in South African everyday speech across all communities.
That idea is completely vrot — there's no way the committee will sign off on it.
