Origin: A borrowing from Dutch. Etymons: Dutch allemachtig, almachtig; Dutch almachtig.
Etymology: Partly (i) < Dutch allemachtig (Afrikaans allemagtig , allamagtig ), specific use of an older variant of almachtig almighty adj. (perhaps reinforced by alle , oblique form of al all adj., frequently used in interjections); and partly (ii) directly < Dutch almachtig (Afrikaans almagtig).The word is often subject to euphemistic alteration both in Afrikaans (e.g. allamapstieks, allamastig, allamaskas) and in South African English (e.g. alla mopsticks, allemastig, alle maskas).
South African.
An exclamation of surprise, alarm, horror, or reproach: ‘good Lord!’ Cf. magtig int.Frequently used by writers to suggest Afrikaans dialogue.
