Wait, what did he say?

This couple was out for a little extreme adventure, but suddenly they changed their tune.

On a stormy day in Sydney, a man from South African and his Australian girlfriend decided to hit the beach.

For the rest of the video, it's important to note that the man has a very, very thick South African accent. If you're unfamiliar with the wide range and diversity of South African accents, you can learn a little about them in this academic video.

As the two get closer to the water, you can easily see the sky is a menacing gray and the ocean is thunderous and unsettled.

He urges his girlfriend to be careful on the rocks as she follows them near the water.

Then, suddenly, LIGHTNING STRIKES! The dude is seriously freaked out.

I have to admit it scared me too. What a terrifying experience.

But my terror as a viewer subsided rather quickly when he suddenly began spouting out weird, unintelligible phrases in his South African accent.

Like, this guy is really, really scared and out of control. It sounds like he's about to cry after witnessing the near death of his loved one. Do I feel bad for laughing at this guy's terror? A little, but it's just so ridiculous.

TBH, I have no idea.
