OLOL Posted July 26, 2005 back in the days - in the play-grounds of Boondheere , BAJAQ (FAX) was a slang designated for chics in general and BASHAQ was assigned to the ones you could easily get into bed! or u could brag off to your buddies about scoring certain easy chic..they will call her name and your will be shouting BASHAQ and there you have every other Faaraxs who will be on a mission to hunt that poor chic! These sounds are in fact somali old people use it and understand it .... here is a dialogue between an old Somali man and his Somali doctor. The doctor have been living abroad for long time and his Somali is kind challenged. OLD MAN: Dhaqtar si uun baan juucjuuc u ahay baryahan. Doctor: haye bal xanuunka ku haayo ii sheeg? OLD MAN: Markaan istaago - Indhahaaba Zzzaaammm la iga siinaayaa oo aduunkoo idil baa wiiwwiiwww ila leh oo wadnahooo dhan baa woohwoohwuuh leh oo madaxaa la igu dhufan oo nervahoo dhan baa dhagdhagdhag-leeynaya oo lafahoo dhan baa qajajajajac leh oo calooshaa la i maroojinayaa oo jiiiiqq la iga siinayaa .... the doctor is lost and can't understand what the old man said - but pays close attention to the sounds and thinks to himself - " there must be a some kind of motor making all that sound in the poor old man's body!"
