Depends on who is saying it.  Don't forget the up and coming "dugger boy". It's funny what you hear around the campfire sometimes with different accents saying the same words. I say dugga but everyone knows what you mean. _______________________________  | |||

It is really spelled "DAGGA-BOY" But pronounced by most as DUGG-BOY! DAGGA means mud so the batchler buffalo is called a MUD BOY. As Yukon says, it depends on who is saying it! Many things in Africa are not pronounced the way they are spelled. Example: the sir name Uys is pronounced "ACE"! Like the RSA PH Dirk Uys!  Don't worry about it, because both spellings are used because most Americans spell it the way they've heard it pronounced, DUGGA, even though it is properly spelled DAGGA! Either way it will be understood!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Is Dirk still alive? I would have thought somone would have killed him by now.

And if you use the name "DAGGA-BOY" among Afrikaans non hunters they could give you a very strange look. "DAGGA" is the local name for "marijuana" ! So directly translated with all sort of local street names you could end up saying: "Weed-boy" "Dope-boy" And much more   Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Well, you might be right to say it that way with some of the ones that hear it! My last tracker had his own growing patch, and it was obvious that he was much happier and livelier when he'd rolled and smoked a few. Seemed to have that extra get up and go. . .  | |||

Well I think everyone here knows it wont be me teaching anyone how to spell!  The only reason I knew that one is because I was called on it myself, by ALF!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

So what I gather, is that a buff that smokes pot is a Dagga Boy. And one that rolls in the mud is a Dugga Boy. Am I getting close to knowing more than I did yesterday! Thanks guys......wapiti7 | |||
