10 Words That Nigerians Use Daily But Do Not Exist In The Dictionary by Mhiztamurtala(m): 2:14pm On Aug 18, 2017
Here’s a list of words that do not exist in the English Dictionary which Nigerians use on a daily basis without realizing that those actual words do not exist and even those that exist are not exactly what they think it means.
Read below :1. Installmentally:
This “word” is a favourite of many Nigerians, but, sadly, it simply does not exist. You won’t find it any reputable dictionary. The correct thing to say when “installmentally” comes to your mind is in instalments or by instalments.2. Plumpy:
Nigerians use “plumpy” when they want to say that someone is chubby or slightly fat. The correct expression is plump.3. Disvirgin:
This particular “word” is used severally on a daily basis, especially by Nigerian men when they intend saying that a woman has lost her virginity to a guy. The correct word to use, however, is deflower, because “disvirgin” is not a word.
