~ Hissing . . . Is It A Cool Culture Among Africans? by mohawkchic(f): 4:16am On Sep 11, 2008
~I was instilled in me at an early age hissing IS bad manners but somehow,its a common practice and a part of our culture to hiss when frustrated,angry,offended . . . as the sounds suggests,just like a snake ready for attack!! whatever the reasons,i have found caught  myself hissing at certain suitations & most times when am mad at someone & mumbling to myself . . . I hate that i do it but i suppose its just one of those bad habits thats hard to kick!!

~Its soOo not a cool thing to do especially in public . . something about the way the mouth goes when hissing . .  tongue !!   

~I was yet to find hissing hilarious untill i stumbled on numerous posts on here where people are so dramatic,when replying to posts, if they hiss . .  they make dam sure they indicate they have hissed in their posts by typing *hiss*  *Hissing*  grin LMAO


~ I Have also noticed hissing is quite common among Jamaicans too!!


~How often you do hiss/find yourself hissing?

It's not uncommon to see a lot of the ladies here writing "hisssssss". It gets hilarious seeing this over and over again grin but then gets annoying.

In my opinion, hissing is a female trait to have, and is highly "suspect" for a guy to be hissing. . . . . . . But that is just my opinion, no offense intended to any fellas out there guilty of the hiss. wink

~@ iice & KarmaMod is the *Waka* a word/expression you use
Re: ~ Hissing . . . Is It A Cool Culture Among Africans? by iice(f): 2:37am On Sep 12, 2008
MC, waka is a word cuss but it's also a hand gesture. You spread your fingers with your palm facing the person - that's waka.

Hissing, I can't help it.
But I don't hiss to any part of me family member or ppl older than me, except when we're joking.
I hiss when I find something disapproving. . . . or when I'm joking around. tongue
