mzungu

Swahili Literally means "foreigner" but predominantly used in Swahili-speaking countries (particularly Kenya and Tanzania) to refer to white people. Very common since white people are still a curiosity in many parts of these countries and usually not intended to be offensive but sometimes used in a pejorative manner. Similar usage to "faranji" in Amharic.
