Ok, enlighten me. Wiif is a circus, or something of the sort, no ?

See you are a qaldaan, you know what wiif is

I have absolutely no clue what wiif means in this context. I have always heard of Qaldaan Wiif used to refer to Northerners. Never investigated what it meant.

Qaldaan Wiif
Eelaay wiiq
Dofaarqiiq
Hawiye hide and go seek

The word Wiif is literally the sound a thrown stone makes, and when you throw a stone, you wouldn't know where it would land. Now, Northerners came to the South with no target and no P.O. Box, they came rushing, talking fast, and gesticulating a lot and the Southerners didn't know where these ppl were heading, so they said they are Wiif

Lug, that's an interesting explanation... mano alifeesa walaalo mise run waaye?

Mike, there you have it and it kind of makes sense. I will call you Mike Wiif from here on that would aptly describe you, since half the time I'm not sure where you are coming from or going to

Going in circles then ? Or as Lady Demure said, not knowing whether we are coming or going ?

What i've found

1. wiif verb: go round and round (like a merry-go-round), spin
2. wiifi verb: spin, make go round and around; cause to run quickly
