 By the 1990’s the term "'''[[Movie|movies]]'''" had also taken hold – in English and [[Afrikaans]].
 === '''[[Flic]]''' (in English) and '''[[Fliek]]''' ([[Afrikaans]])===
 Since the 1970s bioscope was gradually replaced in popular parlance by "[[Flic|flics]]" (a name which derives from the "flickering" image on the screen), and the "[['scopes]]" and later by the American "'''[[Movie|movies]]'''" (which derives from the "moving" image on the screen). To "go to [[flic]]" ["[[fliek]]" in Afrikaans], or to “go [[flic]]” or even simply "to [[flic]]" is still common though, also in [[Afrikaans]].

 '''BATHURST'''
-The [[Odeon]]. The validity of this entry has been questioned. Can anyone confirm this? Bathurst is a tiny village and it seems highly unlikely to have had a population large enough to support a theatre. The source may have confused this with the Odean (Odeon?) in Grahamstown.
