but I do understand the rooinekke/rock spiders interchange

I don't know what dat is...

 

 

It's Afrikaans. From the Anglo-Boer war apparently

rooinekke (red necks) for the english because the backs of their necks got sunburnt red like their uniforms.

Rock spiders for the Boers because they would attack out of caves etc. with their guerilla tactics
