Creative ways of saying things

The other day at Multichoice I overheard a conversation

Person 1: Hi, what were you coming to do here?
Person 2: The channels on my decoder disappeared so I was coming to sort it out (machannel anathawa)

i.e. he had not paid and was going to settle his bill!

Another one I heard while on a ATM queue

Person 1: Hey you, you are taking long at the ATM. Are you fixing it or what?
Person 2: The ATM is giving problems

i.e. The account is depleted and there is no cash to dispense!

  1. Hello! I was browing the internet looking for view card or post card resources from Malawi. I am from Asia and I am just wondering if you will be kind enough to send me just one post card from your country. I will be so thrilled. I can send you a post card in return :)

    Thanks and have a great day!
