Spring is officially here, and what could be more suited then celebrating with an entire month dedicated to the favorite South-African pass time – having a BRAAI! Whether you’re doing it on your stoep in Strandfontein, or on your patio in Pretoria. Or having a braai at your mother’s-brother’s-uncle’s house in Kraaifontein – there’s nothing better than the smell of a chop sizzling over the coals. And as an extra bonus … WE GET THE DAY OFF!!! Our government set this day aside for all South Africans to celebrate our rich heritage. After browsing on the Internet, I stumbled onto braai.com, whose mission is to position National Braai Day as South Africa’s annual day of celebration on National Heritage Day.

They’ve also shared a list of fun braai words, almost like a braaidictionary to help you sound cool around the coals: 1. Aai: a braai in the summer aka – a braai without the brrrr! 2. Abbraaiviation: a very short braai. 3. Abraaimowitz: a Jewish braai. 4. Asskebab: If somebody makes an ass of himself/herself at a braai you call them an Asskebab. 5. Aweh: various meanings and can be widely used to express something positive e.g. hello, yes, nice, good.

6. Baas: Afrikaans for boss, the guy holding the braai tongs. 7. Bak: a dish, made from aluminum or stainless steel, used for storing the meat in before and after it is braaied. Some braaiers use a glass bak, but there is a safety concern in this. When you eat straight off of the braai, then a bak is unnecessary. 8. Barbie: Australian slang for barbeque. What you learn to call a braai when you immigrate there. 9. Black wattle: Alien vegetation that uses a lot of water when alive. Good for the environment to chop it down and braai with it. Versatile braai wood, burns easily when dry, and makes decent coals. 10. Blitz: Although this is a brandname, it is used as a universal term in South Africa for fire lighters of any kind or brand. A frequently asked question at many a braai: “where is the blitz?” 11. Blitzbraai: When you light the blitz intending to braai but instead just end up getting blitzed sonder a braai. 12.

boereworsroll. 14. Bokdopentjop (bok-dop-en-tjop) – ‘bring and braai’ – you may bring your bok (babe), your dop (drinks) and tjop (meat of choice). 15. Bosberaad: a conference. You and your friends coming together to discuss your strategy for National Braai Day. 16. Braai hard: 90′s action movie about a really rough guy who braais a lot. 17. Braai hijacker: the guy that you don’t really want to invite to your braai, but have too. Cause he is someone’s boyfriend. He claims to be a chef and manages to hi-jack the braai when the real braaier goois a dop. 18. Braai tongs: Weapon of choice for the braai master. 19. Braaiathon: a very long braai 20. Braaidsmaid: Female performing supporting role during a braai. E.g. making salad, marinating meat, making braaibroodjies. For more braaicabulary visit http://braai. com/braai-words/
