¹ Definition of 'Budaa'. When my wife and I first dated, I was 40 years of age and, by American standards, an old dude in the dating world. She told me that in Kenya, I would be considered a "senior bachelor". I liked the sound of that, "senior bachelor", an air of respectability, heightened status. Apparently the Kenyans also have a Swahili word for a senior bachelor who has lost his mojo (is no longer in game shape): "budaa". Literally, it means lumpy. Damn glad I got out of the dating scene before turning into a budaa! Here is a link to a Swahili dictionary.
