banitsa

This is a traditional Bulgarian pastry which we buy and consume as breakfast or bake it on some holidays. It's realy good and is most commonly filled with cheese and is really greasy but who cares.. it's delicious!!! Our grannies love to bake banitsa :) You should really try one!

It's pronounced BAH-nit-sa :)

-Wanna get a hamburger, mate?
-Nah, I'm more of a banitsa person.

manafitsa

It comes from the word manaf which we (in Bulgaria) sometimes use to name gipsies. So manafitsa is a bunch of people from the Gipsy minority crammed somewhere. Manafitsa actually came to me after thinking of banitsa and I saw a gipsy, so I combined the two words and there.. we have a new word :)

It's pronounced MAH-NA-FIT-SA :)

-Hey man, do you see all those black gipsies over there!
-Lol, man! They've become, like, a big manafitsa!
