Jawelnofine
This is another conversation fallback word. Derived from the four words
"yes", "well", "no" (q.v.) and "fine", it means roughly "how about
that." If your bank manager tells you your account is overdrawn, you can
say with confidence: "Jawelnofine."

Article on prestige of language variants in SA:
http://www.und.ac.za/und/ling/archive/sari-01.html
“Another finding of the study is that the prestige of a variety of English derives from its social functions, that is, the people and associations with which it is linked, rather than its structural properties. The way we speak counts for a great deal and so does the way we hear others speak. Although no dialect is better or worse than any other, the recent introduction of African ‘voices’ on SAfm aroused a great deal of passion from the self-appointed guardians of the ‘purity of the language’. If it was not the mangled grammar it was the distorted pronunciation.”
