What Does It Mean When A Stranger Refers To A 17year Old Girl As Umuaka? by mamagee3(f): 6:27pm On Jun 24, 2011 |
Is it a let-down or an insult if a woman calls on the phone and asks "O lee otu gi na "umuaka" di, by that term she's referring to a 15 and 17 year old and she even goes tot he extent of telling the woman to come and collect puff-puff and fried chicken for them. Is it an insult or just a culture thing? |
