Afrazing

Afrazing: adjective. As "merry" is associated with Christmas and "happy" with the New Year, afrazing is associated with Kwanzaa. It is used in phrases such as: "Have an afrazing Kwanzaa!" Interestingly although Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966, the word actually comes from 1953, when it was used by Hakim Jamal, early in his career, when he was attempting to explain what he believed in to Malcolm X. The word was then reused by Maulana Karenga, the master teacher, after Kwanzaa had become an established holiday. Kwanzaa is a recognised holiday, because it is not underlined in red, when typed into a Google document.
