In Swahili...

"SHAGALABAGALA"

means

"CHAOS AS USUAL"

In other words, SHAGALABAGALA is the Swahili version of "SNAFU," "FUBAR," & "Same Shit, Different Day" -

It’s such a flex to be like “I have skills other than racism” when it’s responding to people who absolutely do not

It’s just what tech support does to you. Soul crushing even if you don’t have, like, a soul.
