Definitions
South African slang, primarily used in Afrikaans-influenced English, referring to a girlfriend or romantic partner. Literally a diminutive of 'stuk' (piece), the term is common among younger South Africans and carries an affectionate, casual tone — similar to calling someone your 'girl' in American English. While it can sound possessive to outsiders, in context it's usually used fondly and is part of everyday Cape Flats and township vernacular.
He brought his stukkie to the braai and she charmed every single person there.

Stookie is a versatile piece of Scottish dialect slang. In its most common modern use, it means a plaster cast — the kind that gets scrawled on with Sharpies after you break your arm. In older or more informal usage, it can also mean plaster of Paris itself, or call someone an idiot (standing there like a stookie means you're as dumb and motionless as a plaster figure). If someone in Scotland tells you to stop standing there like a stookie, they mean stop gawping and do something. All three senses connect to the idea of something hard, white, and thick.

South African slang for a documentary film or TV programme, following the common South African English pattern of adding '-ie' to abbreviate words. You might catch a doccie about wildlife on a Sunday afternoon or binge a true-crime doccie series on a streaming platform. It's relaxed, conversational, and very much part of everyday South African speech — the kind of word that makes perfect sense the first time you hear it.
