Here's something that came up in class: why do insults in your mother tongue sting worse than insults in any other language? In Swahili saying "nyanyako" to someone is just asking for a fight, in english it would translate to "Yo mama" which doesn't strike me as quite so effective...I wonder why that is?
Something very interesting happened last night, but I am not quite sure what to make of it.(Yes, it does involve a boi, hehehe) More on this later...
