Idiomatic or not, I can't say the first one as a grown man. Nonsense speak is not all culturally valuable.

Sometimes Somalis are are cringe with naming places too. Like the two mountains on the entrance to Hargaisa need to change. We really had to keep the names of horndog teenage pastoralists said in passing?

But honestly I agree with you, I also never used them, but almost every Djibouti city adult use them. That just makes me laugh and I have to repeat after whenever I heard it.

Who cares who uses it? It's still crass for everyday speech. Not saying people have to start talking all formal.
