Misnomer

I recently received this email from my uncle, who lived for many years in Kenya:

'In Swahili, "Kali" means fierce and dangerous. The Kenyan equivalent to a "Beware of Dog" sign reads "Mbwa Kali!" ("Fierce and Dangerous Dog!") It can also refer to a "sharp" knife or a "serious" illness.'

This is a bit of a misnomer, by Kenyan standards anyway, since our Kali is quite gentle and pretty calm. L, however, thinks that she has "kali" teeth.

So there you have it...MBWA KALI!
