Southafricanisms is the topic and today's letter is O.Oke, ou [prounounced oak or oh]. An informal Southafricanism meaning a man, similar to "guy" or "bloke" or "dude" derived from "okie" the anglicized form of the Afrikaans word "outjie" or little chap. The word "ou" can be used interchangeably.
Usage : You can never stay befuck with an oke you smoke nchangu with.

What a wonderful idea for #AtoZ Challenge theme. Good luck with the rest.
I linked to your #AtoZ participation on my post for 'O'
Interesting. I had some idea of some version of the name, but now I know a lot more. Thank you for that, and great choice for letter O.
