Naija Car Slangs Translation Needed by mtyekinni: 4:46am On Nov 08, 2009 |
I live in a motown (motorcity) suburb. I have been dabbling in buying & selling cars now for 9yrs (since late 2000) It took a while for me to adjust to my fellow countrymen calling every SUV a jeep. In the States Jeep refers to the Jeep brand- Cherokee, grand Cherokee Laredo, liberty, commander, wrangler, patriot & compass. About 2weeks ago I had a customer ask me to help her get an american specĀ Sunny, she explained that she has been driving a vtech but wants an 03-05 Sunny. Of course it took me a while to figure out that Sunny is actually Nissan Sentra - worse still I have never heard of vtech ( I assume from her description that it must be a honda accord- I am probably wrong ) My point can Nairalanders please explain the terms baby boy, frog face benz etc, etc & all the other commonly used car slang on this thread, it will be useful if new terms can also be explained to us jjc on this thread. Much obliged for your help. |
