5. Irish: Most or almost all of the guys in town who sell irish potatoes in town are Batooro. If they are talking to each other you can easily sense that. To them that is their favorite occupation, like chapati making is to the Basoga
4. No sense of fashion: If you want to know if someone is a MUTOORO or not, first check out their fashion style and if he has a poor sense of fashion, then just get to know that he might be a mutooro. That’s why if you dress lousily they will say that ”eyo enyambala yo ya kitooro nnyo.”
3.Lazy talk: Batooro are naturally lazy. They are equally as lazy while they jazz. Even when they get annoyed, they won’t bark at you. They tend to always mix Rutooro in English, for example “njaku callinga, sagara kundisturbinga , esati yakufitinga.”
2. Logic: The Batooro are so poor at even simple things like simple mathematics. For example if a Mutooro finds out that something is expensive in Fortportal or Kabarole, he won’t allow to buy it from there but he will board to Kampala to buy that very thing because it’s seemingly cheaper and go back to Fortportal without realising that he has spent more on transport.
1. Dense and slow: If a Mutooro man goes to the shop to buy a match box and one of the matches doesn’t work he will take it back to the shop, get a new match box sit down and remove all the matches and start lighting each one of them to see if all those in the box work.
