And unbeknownst to myself, until this moment right here, I have celebrated each Thursday in the year that is 2011. And some of the Thursdays in 2010. And I only realised now that I have spent so many Thursday phuzaing.
What am I going on about? Well, this is how urban dictionary puts it:
Said (poo-zah)
As 'phuza' is the traditional Zulu term for drink, it follows that 'Phuza Thursday' is the act of drinking (most commonly binge drinking) on a Thursday night. This has become a burgeoning tradition among South African youth, with Thursday nights almost replacing Friday nights as occasions for heavy drinking.
Good ol' G&T |
So, in celebration, here are a few facts about an average Phuza Thursday (or more so G&T):
- It is usually spent with the beau and when I can convince my friends to join us, after we have already had a few drinks, them too.
- I always drink a G&T. Last year, I hated it. Couldn't stand the taste. But then we went to Phuket and Flip was going on about how I should order a Tom Collins, neither of us really knowing what that is. Long story short, I have only ever had one TC, because we don't know what it is, and no one else does, but it taste pretty much like a G&T and that got me to drink an old lady's drink.
- Flip once tried gin & tonic, not knowing that it had quite a frank taste. He claims that he still can't get the taste out of his mouth and that he would never touch it again.
I perfected the fish face me thinks! Flip on the other hand...he has a flash in his eye |

Just stumbled across your blog and love it! Too cute! I am Megan... too! Nothing like a good G&T. Sounds perfect for tonight. New follower and just wanted to say hi = )
At my university, thursday night was our friday night too because most people didn't have class on Friday. Those were fun times!
Hey Meg! nice to meet ya! I swear if someone were ever to do a census about the names of bloggers, Megan would make up about 95%.
Oh Abby, now I'm missing my varsity days! Only difference is, almost every night was phuza night :) those were some good times!
that last picture just made my Friday.
Don't laugh Christine, that's how I pull my face when I try to look pretty! ;)
