G’n stap ‘n entjie
(It probably deserves some explanation in this context. In Afrikaans, a ciggie is often referred to as an “entjie” - it basically means a lil’ bit, or a short. The phrase plays on the idea of a smoke break, where the ciggie is short, but you also have to walk a short bit in order to have a smoke, i.e. you have to go outside)
