bamboocha
n.— «Bamboocha is island-speak and although it cannot be translated into a single word, a close match would be to eat life wid a big spoon and in essence “live life large.” It will mark a new global advertising campaign revolving around a free-spirited islander, Jimmy and his merry friends.» —“Uganda: Fanta Goes Bambooocha” by Moses Serugo The Monitor (Kampala, Uganda) May 9, 2006.
