“PRAWN” SPOTTED OUTSIDE VIDA E IN GREEN POINT
As they filter into general society
5.09.2009INCREDIBLE scenes over the weekend outside Vida e in Green Point, as we see a “prawn” approaching a car guard.
A “prawn” approaches a car guard
outside Vida e, Green Point
The car guard is not quite sure about that prawn – as we notice continued multi-species integration on the streets of Cape Town – so very far away from District 9.
With the prawns’ relentless disregard for law, including blatant red traffic light violations, how much longer can society and the police afford to turn a blind eye?

I thought it was just rude to wear cycling helmets inside? Fair enough…
But now outside is off limits too?

What do you mean? That picture shows a prawn and a car guard.

Notice the car guard taking a defensive stance as the ‘prawn’ approaches.

This is nothing compared to the “prawn” who insisted on wearing his protective gear during Friday’s 18:15 screening of Coco Avant Chanel at the Labia on Orange Street. The mind boggles.

On the topic of traditional media not quoting their sources I wish to add that I can confidently say that my friends and I have been using the multi-purpose word “prawn” (with the ‘r’ pronounced in afrikaans) for no less than four years. i.e. “That guy is such a prawn”, “My buddy prawned that girl”, “I prawned my car through a wall last night”, etc.
It has since become a common word used amongst UCT students and even had a mention on Freshdrive (DJ Fresh).
I have had too many SMS’s from friends telling me about the movie District 9, shot in joburg, where the word “prawn” is used not only in describing aliens, but also as a verb: “prawn that prawn”. Well, it probably has nothing to do with the Cape Town buzzword, but our cover is blown. No more calling people prawns, as you might end up being prawned!
