To “Wegsing” Someone

There is an interesting word in the Church here. In Afrikaans: wegsing. "Ek gaan jou wegsing." "I shall sing you away." This is a technique which is routinely used in Black and Coloured Churches, to move things along if people lose track of time. Usually, it is not the minister who initiates the wegsing, but the people. OBSERVATION: This is not to say that services are short. Two to four hours would be usual. I have also seen it used as a technique for overcoming disruptions.
