Coloureds explained entry 4:"Dala rot" and "Bets".

Today on coloureds explained we will explore two words that are intrinsically linked. "Dala rot" and "Bets". Bets is when someone is up for a challenge. This could range from agreeing to helping your friend move into his new flat to helping your friend hide the triple homicide he's just committed. A dala rot is said to always be "Bets" but the reference is not generally linked to mere furniture mo

ving. When a dala rot is bets it’s generally for kak aanvang (see last post). Common Dala rot activities include but are not restricted to: hurting himself for others amusement, breaking things for no reason, driving unnecessarily fast, doing everything in excess, fighting with little or no justification (see upcoming post on, "the rol"). They do this for the simple pleasure of hearing people say “You a mal naai ma bru". The older one gets the less impressive the dala rot becomes, when you 14 we call him a dala rot, when you 30 you call him an idiot. Unless you yourself are an idiot then you call him "the ou" (see next post on coloured superlatives).
