BRACKET is used to mean meet. E.g. I go bracket you for Enerhen Junction means I'll meet you in Enerhen Junction.

Congo (wit stress on d "go"wink means soldier. Oboy discharge Congo de area o. (telling ur guy to escape, soldiers ar in d environment)


Congo (wit stress on d "Con"wink means pusi.

N to correct an impression, most of des warri slangs ar not used by thugs or touts or miscreants. It's used by all even in church pastors hu ar born n bred warri use dem. N de can be used codedly to pass out info's. For instance if I say: "Erema sawalele for d ground" only a few persons can decipher

When we see confam warri boy we dey know, well boneee! Devil na area boy, God na Godfather. E nor get as e be ogoro (frog) must jump. Warri nor dey carry last kpata kpata (if it comes to the worst) na draw. I see some people say na Lagos get slangs I just dey laff becos dem dey learn. Warri, Delta pidgin nai be confam, the rest states mother tongue dey interfere. Warri boys can neva carry girl go party! Nor be say we wickedtt we dey tell you our mind! Na so one warri boy carry one girl to cinema one day, the girl con say "I need emmm... suya of N3500 just to keep the mouth busy." Instanta the Warri boy provoke, "wey you, stop that thing, you want make your mouth busy you nor dey blow whistle? Abi na here you wan chop your evening food?"LOL. Make I add my own jaree:

1. Okpolo eye = Big eye
2. Kala = Gun
3. Kpokpo = Soldier
4. Kpom = Smoke cigar/igboo

@Goodboiyy, You don baff slang has to do with money o but most people use it wrongly. Just like saying, Wizkid don baff - it means e don get money. Also we may say, "wetin dey do you, you don baff?" It means you don hammer? Soap cannot baff (bathe) someone clean na money dey baff (bathe) someone; thats the origin of the slang.

Lolz.. @Bolded thanks for educating me on that.

A thread was created today about Street Slangs You Must Know When You Are In Lagos, so I decided to write about some slangs used in Warri

Warri
Warri is a city in Delta State, Nigeria . It is an oil hub in Southern Nigeria and houses an annex of the Delta State Government House. It served as the colonial capital of the then Warri Province. It shares boundaries with Ughelli/Agbarho, Sapele, Okpe, Udu and Uvwie although most of these places, notably Udu, Okpe and Uvwie, have been integrated to the larger cosmopolitan Warri. Osubi houses an airport that serves the city.

Effurun serves as the gateway to and the economic nerve of the city. Towns in the Warri metropolis include: Ogbe-Ijo, Aladja, Ekurede Itsekiri, Jakpa, Ubeji, Ugbuwangue, Ifie-Kporo, Egbokodo Itsekiri, Ajamimogha, Pessu, Koko, Ugbolokoso, Ugborodo, Ajagbodudu, Iyara, Ode-Itsekiri (Big Warri), Osubi, Effurun, Enerhen, Ugborikoko, Agbarho, Deco, Okuokoko, Ebrumede, DSC Township, Ugbomro, Edjeba, Ekurede-Urhobo, Okere, Agbassa, Ogidigben, Gbaramatu, among others.

below are some slangs used in warri.

Who You help ?
This slangs is used by wafarian to tell someone indirectly that he/She ain't relevant, For example if I ask Waje to show me some respect, he might just say "Ayo who you help Self" meaning "Ayo you are Not Relevant".

Orpkorpise
This word have two meaning, It is used to refer to someone who is Possessed with Evil spirit, I can make a statement like 'wunmi you be Orpkorpise o" , Someone from Lagos won't understand what am saying, He might just laugh. it can also be used to refer to someone who is a Novice

Cabash
This statement is used to refer to those who love Prayer so much, If a pastor love praying.. Warri boy will say something like " Pastor you too like Cabashing[/b]

You Don Baff ?
Lolz.. this one I hate it so much, Its used to fool someone .. Still don't know the meaning of this one, grin

I They H/Alarm Alarm
If someone is hungry that when they use this slangs. Freemanan I they H 0 it means Freemanan am Hungry

Lashing/Whipping
Lashing is usually used in place of Sex/F**k.. Since those words are too raw warri boy might just say, "Oboy I lash Preye Yesterday O", The other Guy might say "Oboy leh nor be small whipping b/w me and Onome o" If ladies are discussing They don't use F**k they use Lash e.g "babes Ayo was Hot, The guy lash me so tey I ... grin "..

Soja
slang for 20 naira note , This Is mostly used be conductors and taxi drivers " Oboy you get Soja there ? " Meaning "Do you have 20 Naira


White/sky
slang for 50 naira note..

Make your head dey your neck o

This slang is mostly used to warn a person to use their sense, It is also used for advice, "Ochuko leave that Babe oo, Make your head they your neck o"

Pem
To hide sometin very well "abeg pem that quay well o" It is mostly used by street boys "Preye Pem well o, Kpo kpo they around"

Shele
same as pem

Kpor Kpor ( diff pronunciation from kpo)
slang for police , We usually know police as Kpor Kpor, If You ask Some1 from Warri where is police Station he will reply you "Oga Timipreye I nor know wenti be Police Station oo , na Kpor kpor way i know oo.

Congo

Gallant
slang word for a street thug who has made his mark on the streets , "Oga Onome How that Way na, Oboy he Gallant o"
