Coloured's explained, entry 3: "Getuie"

This refers to a good friend. e.g., Michael Michael Shakib Bhatch is my getuie ma bru, tot laat toe papa," translation: "Michael Bhatch is one of my dearest friends till the day I die." Now to many this may seem a bit extreme but calling someone a getuie comes with many responsibilities. He has to join you in all manner of "kak aan vang", lend you money (kyk

a liewe, see entry 2), help you "chys kinnes" (approach girls, see extensive note to be published later for elaboration), the list is extensive. All these supportive acts can be lumped using the verb, getuig. When asked to getuig, an individual is being asked for help or support. This can range from serious issues to the most trivial of requests. e.g. " Ma bru I'm gonna stab this naai, u gonna getuig me?" to I'm going to the shop gou, getuig me?
If the getuie does not comply with the more serious requests he will be denoted to the role of "bang naai" (scared) and will no longer be seen as a getuie. For smaller infractions you can be called a kak thing or fokol werd.
