I once received a slap for that and I wasn't even interfering. The lady said and did something funny and I started laughing.

OP, no be lie at all. Them carry insults do us ni...thankfully, I narrowly escaped with only "monkey Oshi" and "oniranu". Both double as insults and endearments. Imagine me hugging my friend that is doing one crazy thing while chanting monkey Oshi. The day I mistakenly called the pretty babe a monkey in front of her bobo ennnhhhh, his look just threw the two of us into a fit of laughter! I truly love all my monkeys...from the babies to the adults...may God bless you for me kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

I remain your most loving monkey wink
