Hi all,

As with many words that seem typically SA English, 'yoffie' is not included
in the SA English Dictionary.

Best regards,

Marcel.

 Gooi them with a yoffie dissertation anyhow!


Ron, you wondered where *yoffie* comes from. If Mark doesn't know, I
will look it up in the  Oxford South African English Dictionary. If it is of
Hebrew origin, then could it be related to Dutch *jofel *'sane, sensible,
etc.'?
