Intro - Dugga Boy, now Dagga Boy (but still pronounced like Dugga)

[Erick Gelhaus]

Rub it in jackass.

1st off, Hitari is an excellent film! Not as much as favorite of his when compared to The Quiet Man, The Green Berets (yeah, I was corrupted), The Shootist, McClintock, or even The Longest Day but good and I'll watch it when it comes on.


Anyway, here's mine. From '02 in Matetsi(?) Safari Area outside of Hwange.

I used to LOVE those Morrigan vests!

Someone needs to redo Little Drummer Boy to Little Dugga Boy.

That's cold dude...(Not because Dugga Boy can't take the heat but because it would be so much fun to do and I've already been summoned to the principal's office over post PFestivus revelry.)

Lyrics

Run they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new screen name to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest haiku we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
GJM might sing
Pa rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum

So to honor him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Pum pum pum pum
Pa rum pum pum
Pum pum pum pum
Pa rum pum pum
Pum pum pum pum
Pa rum pum pum
Pum pum pum pum pa rum

Little J frame
Pa rum pum pum pum
I pocket carry, too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no N frame to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our king
Pa rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum
Shall I dry practice for you
Pa rum pum pum pum
Pa rum pum pum
Pum pum pum pum

Tom nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The Katar and LL kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I dry practice for him
Pa rum pum pum pum
I shot my best for him
Pa rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum

Then he smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my gun
Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new screen name to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my gun
Me and my gun
Me and my gun
Me and my gun
Rum pum pum pum




I know, I know. Et tu, Serious?

Under the heading of useless information.

The most common spelling I've come across has been Dagga Boy. I've never seen it with a u before GJM's post. May be an East African or Alaskan Buffalo thing.

Dagga is also the most common local slang for Pot

I just sent a package to Dugga Boy and I feel like I missed out on a great opportunity to mess with him a bit.

I learned it as "dug," in Zim, and was told that meant "mud" in Shona. Google shows it both ways. Don't you think "dugga" is more befitting a beast like Darryl than "dagga." Although, Dagga Darryl might work with 5,7,5 and have a nice ring to it.

As it's no longer haiku season a simple rhyme will have to do...

Digga, dagga, dugga,

I feel sorry for the bugger,

That comes across this mother,

For one crime or another.

Most of this stuff never translates well. Like GJM, I have always heard at as "Dugga" when spoken by Western English speakers. I could easily see that becoming "Dagga" with Anglo/South African, etc based English speakers. Nyeti was similar. I got Nyeti from Jeff Coopers writings, while others say Nyati. I am sure none of the organic languages of the region were ever influenced by English or Latin in their formative stages and thus translation will always be a bit of a toss up.
