By hooker or by crook?

Anyone remotely interested in football will have been following the Confed Cup and all that goes with it. Remember this headline: "Football team robbed in world cup 'Warm Up'"? Turns out that they had been burgled, not robbed (yes there is a difference) by the prostitutes that they had taken back to their hotel room. According to the City Press newspaper police sources confirmed that there were no signs of forced entry and that CCTV footage showed scantily-clad women moving around a number of hotel rooms during what seemed to be a party.
"The players must explain why their rooms were not broken into and why their room safes were not tampered with but they still lost money," an unnamed police source told the newspaper.

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.
