@OceanBlue Well, clearly it could be written as he was wearing a NAME BADGE.

[@daphney119]

@OceanBlue ignorance n arrogance isn't cute.

[@specialuninvitedguest1498]

@OceanBlue How is it "ridiculous"? So it's 'ridiculous' bc it's not found in English? A click sound is just a sound, like every other sound - a, b, c, d, e, f... sounds. For some non-english speakers the "th" sound may also sound "ridiculous" bc they aren't familiar with it. You cannot claim a specific sound as "ridiculous" just bc it doesn't exist in english, bc a lot sounds don't exist in English. At the end of the day,... English is phonetically below average - and exactly _you_ used the word "primitive".

[@plonkster]

Likely of Khoisan ancestry. The exclamation click is fairly common in those languages. You also get it in Nama and Damara.

[@m2ranojaholo79]

Yep. IsiXhosa has plenty of Khoi and San borrowed names, especially the clicks, formed by the letters C Q X.

[@MemorablePopCulture]

That last bit always cracks me up..lol

[@Tsnore]

This guy is great!

[@rondeme]

The name is Xhosa, (FYI Nelson Mandela was a Xhosa), The language has many clicking sounds and when the language is written, the clicking sound is expressed by an exclamation mark. It is very unique and interesting to listen to.

There is no african accent, in the same way that there is no European or Asian accent. Stop being ignorant simpletons. Africa is a continent.
