slang Mai Mwana, Baba Bhoi

mai mwana
Definition:

1. baby mama​
2. homegirl or close female friend​

Note: If you are a man you may call your baby mama Mai Mwana but obviously, you can't just call any random woman that since she isn't a mother to any of your offspring.

The second use of Mai Mwana is used by Zimbo women as a filler to call their female friends especially during the time when they are gossiping about the latest dotcom (makuhwa) with their close friends.

baba bhoi or baba bhoyi
Definition: baby daddy and is used by Zimbo women when addressing their man often with a serious tone but usually not in public because most Zimbo men don't like that at all, it's a non-starter.
