There's "joning" in Angolan culture, especially in the south. But it's usually done amongst kids in Angola, not adults (unless you're a comedian, in which it's cool since you get paid for it). It's also not as on steroids as in the US. Y'all just be doing too much honestly, but it's funny I guess. :manny:

Since you're so interested, here's the natural progression of things in my corner of Africa: in school in every classroom there would be a kid that could let anybody (yes including teachers and adults) get it, until you'd reach college. Then that kid would disappear and give place to a more light type of joner; one that hits but not too hard and usually not about anything personal. Sometimes even as artful constructive criticism that can get even the offended party to laugh. That would be the end goal for anybody that enjoys joning because most people then become attracted to them due to not only their comedy but also for their attention to detail.

'Cause bottom line engaging in raw (here meaning no restrictions) verbal tit-for-tats as an adult has no benefits for either party.

People don't like to be laughed at beyond the ice breaking level because there's no growth in it really.

Also – and this is just a theory but – at least from what I've learned having a thick skin is heavily reliant on your level of care for other people. The least you care about somebody the thicker your skin because there's nothing that person can say that you'll even find worth entertaining...same way you don't entertain ants when you see them walking outside. Or the same way c00ns don't entertain other blacks that are trying to tell them how to live their lives and trying to convince them that all white people are evil.
:ld:
Cool.

East Africans have a roasting culture. Especially Somalis, they are notorious wit it lol. This article explains how janky they can do you.
nikkas loose their fingers in a mortar attack and get the name "Faroole" (No Fingers) on their government issued ID:mjlol:

The Somali love of 'rude' nicknames - BBC News

This goes a long way to explaining the eternal beef between Somalians and Ethiopians :ohhh:

...zero tolerance policy for joning in Ethiopian culture from my experience...only dudes allowed to go there are paid for it (azmaris). Learned this the hard way on some :sadcam::sadcam::damn::damn::damn: shyt, one of these days I'll get around to posting it.

Nah breh I'm Ethiopian we definitely got a roasting culture along with using embarrassing house names/nicknames for people based on their personality, tendencies, physical appearance etc. but I know Somalis got the roastin game sowed up they're too good lol.

Edit: yeah Azmaris are a different level lmao

...lack skill in the joning department?
Why do they take joning/cracking/roasting to heart?
Do they think they're too good?
Do they know African bootyscratcher was a joke applied to anybody at any time, including AAs?


Insults are simply taken more seriously in other cultures :yeshrug:

You think a "yo mama" joke is all fun and games... till you see a dead crow on your doorstop. :ufdup:

Why do y'all keep saying "yo mama"
Breh we don't do that anymore.
That's school shyt. Y'all nikkas get mad at hairline jokes, as demonstrated in multiple threads.
Remember this: having bread can't save you from the heat n treat seat!

Just speaking from personal experience I dont think hairline jokes would really be that bad.

I think its more the "insulting poverty, insulting family members, insulting living conditions" that we Africans get offended over"

So why the haughty attitude in other situations?
:sas2:
Sounds like a vulnerability.
