Stop Saying "STYLISHLY" It Is Wrong And Annoying by 0monnak0da: 8:50am On Oct 30, 2019
There is is expression that is gaining currency among our lazy youth which I find quite annoying

I believe it is a translation from pidgin English directly i.e

Make you take style comot from there
=

Leave that place stylishly.

The problem is it is WRONG


"take style do something "

does not translate into
Doing something stylishly

Doing something stylishly means

Doing something elegantly or fashionably

e.g during class that girl dey take style mess sh think say nobody go know say na her

does not equal

That girl farted stylishly etc
there cannot be anything stylish about farting in my opinion

The correct thing is;
She farted furtively or surreptitiously,covertly etc

e,g [s] Are you stylishly telling me I have body odour[/s]

THIS IS WRONG
Are you tactfully saying I smell(have body odour)
alternative words may be : slyly,sneakily,cunningly,craftily etc but NEVER stylishly

Please delete that usage from your repertoire it is wrong and and "razz"
