Dollar rape

🇿🇦 South Africa

Added August 02, 2025

TOP DEFINITION

A grim phrase from Zimbabwe's hyperinflation days, referring to how the US dollar's value could "violate" people's savings. In SA, some use it when the Rand rapidly loses value: "The currency is getting dollar-raped." (Slangy, dark humor for currency collapse.)

"After the junk status news, rand fell from 15 to 17 to the dollar – total dollar rape situation. (English, meaning "After the credit downgrade, the Rand fell from 15 to 17 per US$ – a total currency crash scenario.")"
