Meaning of the word 'Moomba.'
Since this weekend is the Labour Day long weekend, and Moomba festival time, I was thinking about the word 'Moomba', and how, officially, ''Moomba' is supposed to be an indigenous word, meaning, "Let's get together and have fun."
I remember back when I was in high school, my Dad coming home from work one day, and telling us that in his office, someone mentioned that in some indigenous languages, 'Moomba' is a swear word.
Can anyone confirm that this is true? I tried to find some information online, but have been unsuccessful.
