Whether youâre doing it on your stoep in Strandfontein, on your patio in Pretoria or at your motherâs cousinâs uncleâs house in Kraaifontein, thereâs nothing better than the smell of a chop sizzling on the coals. And, as a bonus, we all get the day off, as our government has decided to set 24 September aside for all South Africans to celebrate our rich heritage.

hile browsing the internet, I came across braai.com, whose mission is to position National Braai Day as South Africaâs annual day of celebration on National Heritage Day. These guys have very helpfully shared a list of braai words â a braai dictionary âto help you sound cool around the fire: âą aai: A braai in the summer, as in a braai without the brrr. âą abbraaiviation: A very short braai. âą abraaimowitz: A Jewish braai. âą asskebab: Someone who makes a fool of him/herself at a braai. âą aweh: A word used to express
a positive attitude â âhelloâ, âyesâ, âgoodâ. âą baas: Afrikaans for boss, or the guy holding the braai tongs. âą bak: A dish made from aluminium or stainless steel, used to store meat before and after it is braaied. Some braaiers use a glass bak, but there is a safety concern with this. If youâre eating straight off the braai, a bak is unnecessary. âą barbie: Australian slang for barbeque. This is what you will learn to call a braai if you emigrate. âą black wattle: Alien vegetation that uses a lot of water. This means that itâs good for the environment to chop it down and braai with it. It is a versatile braai wood, it burns easily when dry and makes decent coals. âą blitz: Although this is a brand name, it is used as a universal term for firelighters of any kind. A frequently-asked question at many a braai, âWhere is the blitz?â âą blitzbraai: What happens when you light the blitz intending to braai, but end up getting blitzed. âą BMW: Braai Met (With) Wheels. A braai with wheels that enable it to be moved around.
âą boerie: Abbreviation for âboereworsrollâ. âą bok-dop-en-tjop: Term used for a bring-and-braai where you may bring your bok (babe), dop (drinks) and tjop (meat of choice). âą bosberaad: A conference where you and your friends come together to discuss your strategy for National Braai Day. âą Braai Hard: A 90âs action movie about a tough guy who braais a lot. âą braai-jacker: A guy you really donât want to invite but have to because heâs someoneâs boyfriend. He claims to be a chef and manages to hijack the braai when the real braaier goois a dop. âą braai tongs: The braai masterâs weapon of choice. âą braaiathon: A very long braai. âą braaidsmaid: A woman performing a supporting role during a braai, for instance making salad, marinating meat, making braaibroodjies. Remember to make a date with your friends for 24 September! âą For more braaicabulary, visit braai.com/braai-words.
