Stephen Fry and his followers are making fun of a South African accent and it’s kinda funny

We’ll let him get away with it because he’s Stephen Fry. Also, say the words and maybe laugh at yourself, because maybe he has a point.

Fry must have been watching the first Test between South Africa and England when he Tweeted:

When a South African commentator talks about "this evening's harlot package" … can only suppose they mean "highlight". But perhaps not.

His followers joined in with some of the funny quips they have heard from South Africans before.

@stephenfry you do know what a grudge is, don't you? It's where you pork your core.

@stephenfry Every South African I've ever met is obsessed with some fella called "Rigby".

And then Fry remembered that one day, in Cape Town…

Filming once in Cape Town on a hot day and a runner asked if I wanted "arse cream" – well I mean.
