Sometimes when I am walking into Ha Sekake, children will run up to me with their hands out and yell "Lipompong! Lipompong!" Now, lipompong (pronounced dee-pomp-ong) either means "candy/sweets" or is the plural of "water pump."
I generally respond thusly: "Lipompong? Le batla lipompong? Le tlameha ho batla metsi a mangata!" (Water pumps? You all want water pumps? You must want a lot of water!").
They are generally not amused.
