Nice... But you guys are getting a lot of ur spellings wrong... u're spelling them more line local lingua and not like slang-spelling... What would be nice, would be if a dictionary could be compiled for this.. I've long been suggesting that the Lingua franca for the nation be "Pidgin English".. the only language truly spoken all over the country, even by our dear President.. And as we all know, all these slangs form a part of this.. Pidgin, that is..  |
