Sugar. I have yet to see a Senegalese person make a cup of coffee using anything less than five sugar cubes. People suck on sugar cubes as a snack.
Knock-off designer clothing. Not that I have anything against fake clothing, but it brings a smile to my face to see people wearing shirts with misspelled designer names: Dolcee & Gabbanna, or Tomy Hilfigger.
Mutton. Seriously, mutton is disgusting.
Chocoleca. This one is related to the sugar observation. Chocoleca is advertised as the “Delight of Champions,” a super-sweet chocolate spread. Take the nuts out of Nutella and replace them with some sort of gravelly chalk-like material, and you would get Chocoleca.
“Psst.” This is both a verb and a noun, a way of getting someone’s attention. For instance: you’re walking down the street and someone “Psst”s at you to come into their shop and purchase Chocoleca.
Dude, first of all, mutton is DELICIOUS. Secondly, psst is also colloquial French for “I will follow you to your home and wait for you to sleep. Then I will steal your mutton.”
I see good things coming from this blog-o-sphere.
