Gwenya
/phonetic/smoking accessories
1.
Matches or lighter used to spark a cigarette, blunt or fire.
Your fire-starter: a box of matches or a pocket lighter. Without gwenya, that fresh mogo (cigarette) is just a fancy toothpick. Pro-tip: Carry a spare gwenya, nothing ruins a chill session like the “Who’s got fire?” scramble.
"Une gwenya here? Mogo yangu yadzima."
Translation: "Got a light? My cigarette just gone out."
Etymology
Contemporary Zimbabwean slang. First documented in urban areas.
