Words Used To Describe Cars? by Nobody: 7:18am On Jul 23, 2007 |
Just some descriptions I've picked up on here, with regards to cars: "Tokunbo" "Padded" "Babyboy". What do these mean, when used to describe a car? |
Re: Words Used To Describe Cars? by atilla(m): 10:21am On Jul 23, 2007 |
Tokubo-toks- means used from abroad then imported to Nigeria. babyboy - Honda Accord 1999 Padded - me to im not sure. I think it means pimped a bit. But There are many more we can build a dictionary of all these slangs |

@ Topic "Padded" I think mean "DELUXE" As in with all the Accessory (A/C, Powersteering etc). In the states its called "fully -Loaded". Europe uses "Deluxe" |
Re: Words Used To Describe Cars? by Esss(m): 11:30pm On Jul 24, 2007 |
Padded is strictly for Mercedes benz cars. Benzes with a rubber body kit that runs around the lower end of the car. Amana Tight or Amana chilling or Orye tight; Factory fitted Air-conditioners Gbedu Blasting; Tight Sound System Yeah Babyboy means the 1999 Honda accord (a.k.a Honda bullet). |

@ Promise72 "Padded" I think mean "DELUXE" As in with all the Accessory (A/C, Powersteering etc). In the states its called "fully -Loaded". Europe uses "Deluxe" In America "Deluxe"/DX is the basic car and "LX" is a luxurious version |

baby boy is not 'bullet'! pure water - Scratch - holler - bulldog(american)/bullet(european) - baby boy - end of discussion in that order. oye tight/pumping - a/c gbedu blasting - sound speakers + cd awo seating - leather alloy spinning - alloy wheels (rarely spinners) Paded - usually for v-boots flying carpet - picanto frog eyed peas - E-class regular - benz 200e - baby benz - 190 bakassi - 2007 camry accord and golf have the best 2nd hand value so if you're planning to trade your car in or resell it sometime in the future, go for either. |

Most nicknames or monikers have a very specific meaning and are not just mindless slangs. Also a lot of people without a clear understanding of automobiles mix up the names/monikers. "Christino" you are right about the order of Honda monikers. "Kubiboy" you have it wrong about end of discussion and beginning of evolution. Chassis!/Cha-cha/Tear rubber = Brand New Car Honda Halla/Skira = 1990-1993 Honda Accord Padded = this first refered to the Mercedes Benzes that had body coded plastic molds in the lower body sections, they looked padded e.g V-boot or W-124 series 1990 - 1995, W-126 series 1988-1991(also called padded Shagari) however people generally call cars with similar plastic mold body styling "padded" Bulldog = Most people have it wrong today, it originally refered to the 1994 - 1997 Honda Prelude however since most people mix cars up, they started using the moniker for the 1994 - 1997 American spec Honda Accord which became far more common. Bullet = This is the name for the 1994-1998 European spec Honda Accord Academy = This is the original moniker for the 1994 - 1997 American Spec Honda Accord Muscle/Bakassi = Current model (2007) Toyota Camry Babyboy = American Spec Honda Accord (1998-2002) Beast = This was the ultimate Mercedes Benz S-Class W-140 series; this cars were massive and impressive hence the name End of Discussion = American Spec Honda Accord (2003-2005) Beginning of Evolution = Not a very popular moniker yet however it refers to American Spec Honda Accord (2006-2007). Major difference with the "End of Discussion" is that the Rear light/bumper assembly was revamped and restyled. Front assembly remained unchanged! Pencil light = 1997-1999 Toyota Camry (refers to the back light being narrow and straight across) 3 Likes |
