ghettochyk: Now, how's this wrong? how do you mean? |
Re: Annoying Nigerian Sayings by ghettochyk(f): 6:04am On Mar 29, 2010 |
Dis Guy:No, I mean saying "how do u mean" in a "what do you mean" situation. |
Re: Annoying Nigerian Sayings by Ikomi(m): 12:16pm On Mar 29, 2010 |
ghettochyk: It all depends on how the speaker sees the situation, if (s)he sees the situation as "how" instead of "what" while the listner sees the situation as "what" instead of "how" then there would be misunderstanding. For example, Mr. A: Your not wearing your belt properly Mr. B: How do you mean Mr B. sees the situation as "how" as he does not see anyhow else someone could wear a belt if not it going through all the belt holes. Another Example, Mr C: Your not wearing your belt properly Mr D: What do you mean Maybe Mr D can not see all his belt holes but think he might have missed one, so he says "what" to be pointed in the right direction. ghettochyck |

I swear i have never laughed as much as I just did in my life. This thread is off the hook! kudos to the person who started it. I remember right after i got married, my husband while cooking, cut himself pretty bad, and me being a typical Nigerian, immediately started saying "sorry sorry" . He looked at me like i was crazy and said "why the heck r u apologizing? u didn't cut me! and i told him, well, where i come from, if anybody hurts themselves, we always say "sorry" to them to help ease the pain! He then said, well here in America, we laugh our arses off! so now, even if he is bleeding to death I my butt off and keep my |
Re: Annoying Nigerian Sayings by DisGuy: 8:06pm On Aug 26, 2010 |
pslm23: noticed this too, when i say im stressed or tired i get ahhh sorry sorry, so annoying! I think its psychological- someone saying sorry is like a sympathetic ulterance whilst laughing your A*** is morel ikely to increase your adrenaline or at least make your laugh too even if you are bleeding your heart out na my own explanation be that o, Spare the rod, spoil the child- after beating the living daylights out of some defenceless kid it is even in the bible!! or you get 'the bible says' to almost everthing!! I want a God-fearing partner , no wonder you are drinking Martel with red bull |
