Gatvol (the g is pronounced like you are gargling ghhhh-aht-fall) in the same way as the "ch" in the Scottish "loch" or the German "achtung". A growl at the back of the throat.
Translated literally, this word means ”the hole
is full.” Used as a term of absolute frustration. One is gatvol when one has
had enough. The emphasis on the ”g” makes this word particularly effective. You
know that when someone is gatvol, well, that's the end of your bullshit...
This South African word is such fun to say and its perfect when you're completely fed up and are ready to blow a gasket. A great word to say when you can't say "Fuck It!".
Usage : I have had it up to here! I am gatvol. If you don't tidy your room, you are grounded.
