We want the kids of Joburg to use "cool" words from 20 years ago. What were the words in your friendship group?

Hey Joburg! We're throwing it back—waaay back—to the early 2000s! Today, we’re diving into the words and slang that made you the coolest kid on the block 20 years ago. Remember when everything was "kiff" or when someone super stylish was just "phat" (pretty hot and tempting, of course)? Back then, if something was awesome, it was "rad", "sick", or even "wicked". Your bestie was your "chommie", and if things were getting out of hand, someone would shout, "Eish, my bru!"

We want the kids of today to sprinkle some retro flavour into their chats. Let’s revive the golden lingo of our youth—before TikTok trends and Instagram filters took over. Call in or hit us up on socials: What slang did you and your friends use back in the day? Were you the "OG" of saying "whatever, loser" or "talk to the hand"?

Let’s bring the vocab of the Y2K era back to the streets of Jozi!
