Muriwo
/phonetic/people
1.
Playful term for a girl or girlfriend; literally “vegetable/relish.”
muriwo = “vegetable / relish” on the dinner table. 🥬 Flip it into ghetto talk and boom, it’s a girl, usually the current love interest you’re “serving” with. Light, playful (not as objectifying as chimoko or bhiza, but still food-adjacent). Chef’s advice: too many cooks spoil the muriwo, don’t juggle plates you can’t wash.
"Muriwo wawakutamba nawo these days haaaa Rasta mazonyanya!"
Translation: "The girl you are dating these days, wow Rasta, you have upped your game!"
Etymology
Contemporary Zimbabwean slang. First documented in urban areas.
