WORD: maffick

This seems appropriate for a Saturday...or at least your Friday night.

This verb means literally, according to Wordsmith.org, "to celebrate boisterously." Derived from a small town in South Africa called Mafikeng where British troops were blockaded in 1899 and 1900. When they were ultimately "freed," London collectively celebrated.

After their last final exam, the university students were found all along frat row mafficking before they went home for the summer.
