Like those guys from The Bluff who just really live there, they're not really the OP Rough & Tough & from the Bluff se Muff af. But they like to think they are, because they/ve, like, been there all ma life, hay.  

 

Correction,  "se Muff af..." has never been part of the expression. Don't know where you get that from.

 

You are right, the days when the Bluff was Rough and Tough are long gone. 

We have all settled into Careers and Families, most have relocated, others emigrated.

The Heyday of the "Ruff and Tuff" tag was during the Border war around the 70's and early 80's.

Grosvenor Boys High school was the epicenter for copious supply of hardy boys.

Dirkie Uys and Grosvenor annual rugby clash was called the BOER WAR and sideline fights of opposing parents were guaranteed. 

 I got drilled by a left hook myself..and it was a woman who hit me for no reason.

I was just standing at my Inside Centre position, before the ref blew the whistle for the start of the game in '82. 

 

We have moved on.

Judges, pilots, doctors, preachers etc. and many are still living on the Bluff and we are still getting together. 

 

Jakes "Rooibaard" Oosthuizen was a S/Sgt from the Bluff, phenomenal soldier.

He would bite your ears till blood flows on the parade ground if you complained about 5SAI in Ladysmith.

With his beard full of blood, he would continue training Infantry soldiers the rest of the day.

"Ek sal 'n koei se Po@s oor jou kop trek laat 'n bul jou brains uitnaa@." was his trademark saying.

Bluff oke per definition.. 

 

There many older characters left on the Bluff, but those youngsters claiming allegiance to the old habits, occasional deranged norms of yesteryear and sometimes questionable values of those days are talking nonsense. 

 

Just softie Millennials these days.
