Acronym for This Is South Africa. Term expressing [affectionate] resignation regarding a person, [miscellaneous] event or the general state of affairs in the southernmost country on the African continent. Used by the cool Capetonian kids [on the street]. Etymology: this word can be traced back to the earlier acronym TIA (This Is Africa) - as referenced, for example, by Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the successful film 'Blood Diamond' - which was given a regional twist in 2015. Coined by a blonde English girl who couldn't believe no one had said this before and thought it was amazeballs. Adopted by a core group after initial fierce resistance from a few doubters, this term is gradually becoming increasingly popular in the Eastern Cape as well as in the Mother City, naturally.
