deelee

Definition

That weird phenomenon where you know exactly what you're thinking of but your brain has temporarily deleted the word from your vocabulary—basically a verbal game of tip-of-the-tongue meets total mental blackout. Usually recovers in 5 seconds or 5 minutes, no in-between.

Example Usage

What's that deelee called again? You know, the thing you use to eat pasta with?

grootman

South African township slang for an older man or leader who commands respect, basically the hood's version of "elder statesman."
