hovo mupovo

/phonetic/
1.

To get in really fast, slip through, jump in, or make a swift move right there and then. Often playful; sometimes carries a cheeky sexual innuendo, but it’s widely used for any quick entry or action.

(HOH-voh moo-POH-voh) - phrase, speed/entry slang. Popularised on the streets after Hulengende’s self-titled track; the phrase then spread into everyday banter. Close cousins - sporo (sprint), zveipapo (right then and there), 2 minutes (very quick).

"Ah hovo mupovo, wabhovhokera une ka fast kanonokera"

Translation: "You went it too fast you caved in"

Etymology
