What does hoe die blink kant bo mean and is there another part of the saying?

"Hoe die blink kant bo" is an Afrikaans phrase that means "With the shiny side up." It is a playful and informal way of saying "Upside down" or "The wrong way around."

There isn't another part to the saying, but it is often used in conjunction with other phrases or actions to emphasize the fact that something is upside down or the wrong way around. For example, you might say:

* "Jy het die prentjie hoe die blink kant bo gehang." (You hung the picture with the shiny side up.)

* "Hy het die koppie koffie hoe die blink kant bo gehou." (He held the cup of coffee upside down.)

It's important to note that this phrase can sometimes be considered a bit rude or disrespectful, depending on the context and the speaker's intention. It's best to use it in a casual setting with friends or family.
