What does "entjie" mean in South African slang?
In South African slang, "entjie" means a cigarette, usually referring to a single cigarette rather than a pack. It is used in informal South African English, especially in everyday social situations where smoking is discussed casually. The term comes from Afrikaans "eentjie," meaning "a little one," which was adapted in slang to refer to a single cigarette as a small item.
Examples
He asked for an entjie after lunch.
