What is the meaning of mabuza in Swahili?

to be sillyCORRECTION: The above answer is wrong and is apparently based on the confusion in The Lion King between the words pumba and pumbaa, which have very, very different meanings. They are pronounced differently: the accent in pumba is on the first syllable, in pumbaa on the second.Pumba (POO-mbah) is a Swahili noun that means a clod of earth, a lump; most inappropriately for The Lion King's audience, pumba also means "excretion under the foreskin" (Oxford Standard Swahili-English Dictionary). If you were speaking of little lumps, e.g., in a bowl of porridge, you might use the diminutive form, kipumba.Pumbaa (poo-MBAH) means to be silly. Its noun, for fool, is mpumbavu, usually an insult.
