How would you translate the two popular night programs on Kameme and Inooro

Hutia mundu

and

Ithaa ria kwibanga

Although I understand Kikuyu,I am looking for more views because these concepts are not very direct


Cia mburi ni hia!

boss unless your question is for arguments sake,there is a kikuyu saying...mundu mugi ndari mihere ya uhoro.Having said that these are words coined to mean that its an adults only program and contains maundu ma uura thoni a'la explicit content,just say a programme called foreplay coming latea t night.INE!

Wanaruona,
Their literal meaning would be
Hutia mundu - touch someone (emotionally)
Ithaa ria Kuibanga - time to organize oneself

But of course like in any language, there are many meanings attached to any term, hence the various meanings attached above.
