[canuck]

Hey when a person worked underground on the mines Every one spoke Chilapalapa. It was the common Lingo every one spoke. It was when I worked underground those days no one worried like they do now a days.

I am told today in Zim it is a insult to many if you spoke in that lingo. ????

[dallas]

That is brilliant!!!!! I have wrex on mp3 if you are interested!!! Who killed coky lobin, and all those

[Mafuta beeftex]

What a wonderful thread - was what drew me to this website via Google. Recommend having a copy of this excellent thread when listening to Wrex!

[Shayne]

Heh, i remember this thread. I struggle to understand chilapalapa and will defintely be using it when listening to wrex!

[Howard Neill]

Wrex tarrs son works for emirates as a pilot, met him once, nice guy, very quiet not at all like wrex!! May he RIP

Wrex used to work for, or owned, a swimming pool company. He came to our house, to flog us a pool. He was very gently spoken under those circumstances.

When I grew up, we all spoke Chilapalapa. That is how we communicated with the domestic servants. Many of them came from Malawi.

In UK, my brother & I used it, if we didn't want others to know what we were saying. We were caught out by a Beefeater, who had spent time in South Africa during WWII.
