Saffavescent creativity *UPDATED!!!*

One thing South Africa does have going for it is its brilliant ad brains. Some of the most entertaining commercials are being moulded around the 2010 Football World Cup tournament. Others are created around South African culture. One of my favourite ads has to be this Steers ad:




Mrs Balls, South Africa's favourite chutney, has come up with some really saffavescent ideas. To see one of the Mrs Balls ads, which are creating quite a stir, click here.

    Me too - their ads are usually fantastic! I like the new BP ones too - just need to find the videos somewhere so I can post them.

Whingers - should they be allowed to speak?

Saffanisms (AKA buzzwords)

Saffa (n): South Africans. Usually used to describe expats (fondly)
Saffagette (n): A South African whose vote is reserved for Mzansi, the Motherland. A Saffagette is not an ostrich. A Saffagette has a vote and is determined to stand in a queue to cast it.
Saffavescence (n): Developed from saffervescence, which is a slang derivative of effervescence. Saffavescence means awesome, amazing - in a South African sense of course.
Saffaring (v): Being patriotic.
Suffaring (v): Having to listen to others not being patriotic.
