Prime Up: The process where by before hitting the clubs, you and your friends head off to a mate’s house and drink, or ‘prime up’, so that by the time you visit the local watering hole, you’re already buzzing for action.
Adrian: “Vacava, us gang go to O’Reillys tonight?”
Ema: “Fire! We go prime up first at Mesake’s house, get some drinks on.”

    You forgot to mention the economic reasons behind priming :)

    After a long night at Planters, those few saqamoli’s saved by priming could well mean the difference between catching a taxi and walking all the way to town.
