Pizza Hut
On a recent visit to the Limpopo Province, as lunch time approached, my client asked what I would like to eat. I did not want to put him out, so I asked him what the options were. He rattled off a list of local watering holes, and I stopped him at the mention of "Pizza Hut". He smiled at his friend and we headed off to lunch.
After driving through several farms, we came upon a clearing marked "Pete se Gat".
In Afrikaans "Gat" means hole and is pronounced with a guttural, throat clearing "ghat".
Oom (Uncle) Piet, was quite famous for the fact that he had never ever worn shoes, decided to open a pub on his farm, and the locals referred to this watering hole as Pete se GAT.
Said out load it sounds exactly like Pizza Hut!.
