Masturbation

Mhandararuoko

Masturbation - usually male, definitely solo, and 100 % guaranteed to respond “Seen” to every WhatsApp text mid-session.

Literal breakdown: mhandara = virgin, ruoko = hand “Virgin-hand.” DIY pleasure where the only partner is five fingers and a vivid imagination. Synonym rap-sheet: gweto / gwetembe – same crime, legal jargon. Five-star / five-a-side – five fingers doing teamwork. Bonyo-ponyo - because onomatopoeia never lies.
