"Our Woman Colleague, has she put to bed"??

I need to give an appropriate answer.

Sounds like someone whose english grammar teacher didn't do a thorough job. Anyways the answer should be affirmative if she has or negative if she has not.

A nigerian said this to a group of work mates and they all stared at him blank.No one understood what he meant.
My friend threw the question back at me cz I told her I love reading Nigerian stuff.

Does it mean to die? give birth or have sex??

"Put to bed" refers to giving birth. Sorry what country are you in?
Re: What Does This Phrase Mean? by pendo89(f): 7:49pm On Oct 02, 2012
Kenya.
LOL is that so? Can you Imagine guys asked him in unison 'Put what to bed?? grin
Plus using the word 'woman colleague'sounds very odd.A kenyan would ask has so and so delivered yet? (Mention name cz 'woman' sounds a bit rude/mean).

Thank you so much. smiley

LoL I can imagine.

I didn't know you where in Kenya. So how many of your friends and colleagues are as intrigued as you are with Nairaland?

They do not know Nairaland.Many have no idea of what it is, plus they wouldn't bother even if I told them.I love forums more than Fb or twitter.

What I get here is straight from source plus the good discussions, make one sift the good from bad.

Thanks 2buff

Nigerians also ask " has so and so delivered?"
What the Nigerian used was an euphenism. It is nothing out of the ordinary!!
