So, these [expressions], what do they mean? |
Participant: |
I don’t know - we say - maybe [young people] use these words so that some people will not [understand] them. |
Moderator: |
So, how do you know that she/he means that? How does it begin among adolescents to reach the point of [saying things like] “toothpaste on a toothbrush”? |
Participant: |
It’s like, you heard it somewhere - these same adolescents - maybe when you are chatting with them, it happens that you talk about those issues, so when talking about those things, [like how] we want “to soak between beans” - [all laugh] - so, if said like that, it means this and that. |
Moderator: |
So, do they use this amongst themselves or just like that? |
Participant: |
They understand each other; when they see a girl on this side - there are many girls, so, they shout when playing with them that they want “to put water on the beans.” […] |
Participant: |
Some put on [condoms] while others don’t. They refuse, saying [candy] is not eaten whilst in a wrapper. |
Moderator: |
What does that mean? |
Participant: |
So, if you are intelligent, you ask that [Should an intelligent person ask that]? They say you can’t [have] sex with a condom. They say “meat-to-meat should meet” (laughter!). They say “stone to stone” (laughter!) |
Moderator: |
Stone to stone? |
Participants: |
Mmmh! |
Participant: |
It’s not “stone to condom” (laughter). |
