What does Zef mean?

Zef is old Afrikaans slang with a similar meaning to the British “naff”. Something that is uncool or lame, typically in a low class kind of way. Think mullets or guido and similar stereotypes. Some people try and use it in an ironic sense.

    the thing is Die Antwoord (or maybe the media frenzy behind them) is kinda positioning zef as cool, and zef isn't cool: zef is zef. Can't really change what zef is. That's the great thing about zef.
