mr2mk1g 10 #10 January 21, 2005 QuotePoes (Afrikaans) C**t, nasty person. This word has a number of different meanings. It is a swear word, mostly used to berate someone. "You stupid poes". Also used to describe a thoroughly nasty, unlikeable person; someone who has "pulled an action", or ripped someone off perhaps. 'That ou is a poes'. from http://www.wavescape.co.za/bot_bar/surfrikan/slang.html Reminds me of other translational booboo's such as Coca-Cola marketing it's product to China with the slogan "brings your dead relatives back from the grave" (supposed to be "brings your soul alive") and marketing the Fiat Pinto in South America where "Pinto" is slang for small male genitalia. Still to taste some Canadian "Bollocks Beer" though which is rumored to exist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
