Mhanya mushini

/phonetic/
state
1.

Completely crazy; head engine revving past the red zone.

mhanya = run 🏃‍♂️, mushini = machine 🛠️ Translation: “The engine is running at full revs.” In street English: brain’s red-lining, sanity just blew a gasket. So, how do you spot someone kuti akumhanya mushini? -> Random monologue, debating fuel prices with a pothole. Safety tip 🛑: If a friend akumhanya mushini for real, not just for likes, swap the roast for a helping hand. Otherwise? Roast away, but keep a fire extinguisher for that overheated brain!

"Munhu kufamba achizvirova magadziko, haaa akumhanya mushini uyo!"

Translation: "Guy's literally slapping his butt as he walks, now he's off the rails!"
