Forgotten words / expessions

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Words or expressions used when we were kids or expressions used (that we still remember, but do not use anymore or that has just been forgotten)  i.e:

Gawker / Gawking  -  sort of similar to staring = blank minded?  (Help if I'm wrong)

"chips" - as a warning for figure of authority approaching.

I have a lot of expressions nobody understands but it be that I talk South african in the UK ?

My mom used to freak out when we would say, "did you see how he pulled into her!" - meaning , did you see how he kissed her,

"Chips".....I haven't heard that in years.

"Maak a loss" - probably spelt wrong but who cares - was from my days in Hillbrow.
All those so called hippies begging for money at Highpoint.

[Michael Alexander]

Not that I know what it means..... but heres another one I remember from Highschool days....
