O paletse sota
To “palela” or “paletse” is to “to defeat or to be defeated”. The saying says, “\you\ < o > \have defeated\ <paletse> \the touches soap on earth\ <sota> “.
Sota is a soap, one of the oldest soaps our elders used – it can remove anything, literally. So when someone says “o paletse sota” it means you have defeated the toughest soap ever invented (by mankind) on earth – nothing can make you clean, literally; the stain has become that person; the stain and that person are one. That’s removing one is removing the other, literally. The best you can do is“turn off the lights, take a deep breath, and relax. Start to mive slowly, very. Let the music be your guiding light” – Enigma, bcos you will never win.
I believe one of the toughest stains to remove from a person is a pseudo stain – “o paletse sota”.
