It was exactly like that! Thankfully, my rather well spoken Maths teacher; Mrs Bosenburg took me aside and explained that certain words don't travel well.
I found that I tended to stick with Anglo-Saxon curses as my "saffer" friends had no understanding of the term "b*ll*cks", which of course I would exploit regularly. Saying "you total doos/dweet" in my somewhat plummy English accent when confronted with South African english at it's most guttoral would often cause howls of laughter.
Oh, and if it wins brownie points my folks once hosted a Braai, and was promptly presented with a large Afrikaner delicacy called "Boervous" or something? Anyway, it consisted of dead animal and spices, weighed a good couple of pounds and resembled a mutated cumberland sausage.
