Straight & 2 Beers: Patrick Shai’s video went viral and then it was misconstrued

Johannesburg- Sonofabitch! I’ve heard that insult so many times that it lost its sting.

Yes, there was a time when English was not easy on my ear.

Then I encountered the insult in novels and it still did not rankle.

As insults go, son of a bitch is pretty lame even though I hardly ever use it.

Where am I going with all this?

In the days leading up to his death, he had been involved in verbal sparring with musician Cassper Nyovest, who has started a trend of celebrity boxing.
