Yes, I know its about the mouth/jaw area but I didn’t know the exact spot. I thought it had more meaning to it.

Yeah, I’ve only heard it used negatively.

It is also another word referring to 'madow' folk.

Referring to people of sub-saharan Africa.

So somalis too? Is it a negative or neutral term.

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

No, not including people of the Horn. We are self-obsessed, if self-centered, and consider ourselves superior to others. Intended to be negative, and is akin to 'bide' in its application, not meaning.

It is not a nice word, is offensive, and we should not be using it.

No Gafuur is apart of my speech, I can’t just get rid of it when they eventually get offended.

Again, context matters. If you are using it as in its original meaning, as others pointed out, then it is a normal word, but if the intent is to offend, then it is no good. Are you not raised in the West, and taught to be nice to your fellow folk?

I only knew of one meaning and it’s the reason I started the thread, I’ve never heard it used for madows in my life. this is this first time I’m hearing it.
