Well, the 10 bizarre and funny names for certain food and other items that is commonn across the country and that might have been coined out from particular local language which I can't tell myself the Naija language they were coined out from are; 1. Gwugwuru for popcorn 2. Akara for bean cake (don't even know whether I am right, if at all it even has English name) 3. Agidi- ,I also dont even knw if it has English name 4. Kai-kai or ogogoro for alcoholic spirit drinks 5. Chingay for wingged termite 6. Kpokpo garri for' I dont even now how to start coining out the English name 7. Puff-puff for yeast ball (if I'm even right) 8. Kpomo for animal hide 9. Kuli kuli for groundnut ball(I know that I don't even know the English name) 10. Bole for roasted plantein And what I will like you to do is this if any of them was coined out from your language kindly let us know what language is that |
