LOL I looked up Madiaba. XD
It's pretty much disco for the Congo. :P

Well, Reier, that's not the primary meaning of 'madiaba', but secondary.
Here's a few hints (for those bilinguists out there):

French: fesse/crosse (may be better slang words I don't know)
German: hinternbacke/pobacke
Latin: clunis, natis
Greek: γλουτoς (gluts), πυγη (puga)
P.I.E: klounis(s), pouga(pl) (Note: the concept of a P.I.E. is highly conjectural)
Hebrew: תַחַת -under(parts), אָחוֹר -back(side), שֵׁת -'shat' (hehe- yea, just what you think)
Akkadian: puku
Sumerian: dur

I'm not black, but my wife is Kenyan and she grew up speaking English and ki-Swahili.
The dance craze thing in the Congo, I'd never heard of; but it's not unlike the dance/descriptive term used here 'booty' (slangese for buttocks).
A friend (biologist) and I were discussing inter- and intra-departmental dynamics of the Chairs (heads) of each department at ******* University, and how they often persue a self-centered, self-promotional protocol, (playing political games), than totally academic, factual scholarship. We called them 'duffers' because that's what they did (nothing) when certain academic facts called for paradigm shifts, but they would not upset the 'status quo'. When I learned the word 'madiaba' we began using it as a 'code word' for people who did not responsibly report facts, but sat on their 'madiaba' doing nothing to make sure they would keep their position through politically correct pseudo-congeniality.

So when I was exposed to RA2 (I like mechanical stuff), and began hacking into py coding, I found the RA2 official website and GTM and used Madiaba as my user name.

My Sensei gave me my name. He gave me a list of people to kill and told me to bring their heads back on a silver platter. Viper for being as quick and lethal as a Gaboon Viper and 89 for the number of heads I brought back to him

COOL STORY BRO

Gazea2 · « **Reply #117 on:** April 17, 2010, 01:48:27 PM »

My name is Gareth. My mates and brother/sisters sometimes call me Gaz. When I signed up for windows live I used Gazea. Then that kinda stuck and I use it everywhere. I think it sounds kinda cool...

But people also know me as "the geek" because I'm smart and have glasses... Maybe I should change my name. :P

EDIT: This was supposed to be an edit... But I'm more like making this post! What happened to all the text inside it?
Nevermind, it's gone... o.O

I wanted to be known for my bot Shish-Kabot. My team name (Cookin With Gas) doesnt really work well for a user name so I used Shish-Kabot.
