Behalwe daai een dag toe pa so kwaad was en ges\u00ea het “die bl\u00earrie man maak jou so woedend”.<\/p>\n
Ons het gedink bl\u00earrie was ‘n vreeslike vloekwoord.<\/p>\n
Sit Vrydag by ‘n restaurant toe vyf mans aan die tafel langsaan jagstories uitruil. Tussen hulle sit ‘n knaap van so nege jaar – ‘n bulletjie.<\/p>\n
Die koedoe se horings was eers so lank en toe so f… lank en hy is eers geskiet, maar later sommer gep#%!6.<\/p>\n
So gedink aan Pa.<\/p>\n
Sou seker ook vandag so gepraat het as dit nie vir Pa was nie.<\/p>\n
En hoe later hoe kwater, hoe meer brandewyn, hoe kleurryker die taal – varktaal.<\/p>\n
Dat daar vroue naby sit en die vieslike taalgebruik kon hoor, skeel die vloekers min. Dat die kind oopmond elke woord inneem, skeel sy pa min.<\/p>\n
Van jag gaan die gesprek na vroue. En jy wonder of hulle van die diere praat wat hulle jag of van mense.<\/p>\n
Respek?<\/p>\n
Daarvan weet hulle bl\u00earrie niks.<\/p>\n
Een ou praat later Varkikaans, fff… ppp… ccc…<\/p>\n
Hy sukkel om Afrikaans tussen die vloeke in te kry.<\/p>\n
Mense staan op en loop weg.<\/p>\n
Die brandewyn trek.<\/p>\n
Die gesprek word al harder, die taal al erger.<\/p>\n
Die seun sit afwesig.<\/p>\n
Dis asof niemand van hom bewus is nie.<\/p>\n
Kry hom jammer.<\/p>\n
En eendag wanneer hy soos by die Cravenweek van die veld gejaag word, omdat hy ‘n ander speler die p-woord toesnou, sal mense wonder waar kom hy daaraan.<\/p>\n
Wanneer hy nie ‘n gesprek kan voltooi sonder die f-woord nie, sal mense wonder waarom.<\/p>\n
Wanneer hy sy vrou vloek, sal mense wonder waarom.<\/p>\n
