the name in Afrikaans means "the spring where two buffaloes were shot stone-dead with one shot" (Afrikaans: Twee buffels met een skoot morsdood geskiet fontein).

Two-buffaloes-with-one-shot-dead-shot-fountain?
"Morsdood" means something like "stone-dead" . It's used for emphasis. "Dood" would be "dead".
~~And "een" would be translated to "a" I think~~
See response
In Afrikaans "a" is mostly written as 'n while "one" is written as "een". Afrikaans comes from Dutch and in Dutch "a" could be both 'n and "een", while "one" is mostly written as "één" to help with pronunciation. In Afrikaans they dropped the ´.
My native language is Dutch and I love it that I'm able to understand a lot of Afrikaans.
The sounds my body makes after eating taco bell
Both the pronunciation and the literal sounds of "Two Buffalos violently dropping dead with a single shot fountain" are consistent with the other stories I've heard about Taco bell
Why do people keep eating there
Because you tend to be hungry at 3am leaving the bar piss drunk
Because I'm a masochist and fat
