Stop calling It "Snake Servant "See The Real English Name by Godfather03: 3:06pm On Apr 05, 2020 |
Stop calling it "snake servant". See the real English name. We've had a superstitious belief that this reptile is usually sent by a snake to inspect an area. It is also believed that wherever you see this reptile, there must be a snake there, Hence, they gave it the name "SNAKE SERVANT"... LoL! What a fallacy? There are some common mistakes most of us make while communicating. Some of them are: WRONG. (CORRECT) sandine. (sardine) Mangi. (Maggi) Tomanto. (Tomato) Burn-arrow. (Bow and Arrow) Boat-Tie. (Bow-Tie) Scrab. (Scrap) Palaba. (Palaver) Pronounciation. (Pronunciation) Selifit. (Slimfit) Daughter-in-laws. (Daughters-in-law) Bathroom slippers (Flipflop) Snake servant. (Fire Skink) The fire skink ( Mochlus fernandi ), also known as the true fire skink or Togo fire skink , is a fairly large skink, a species of lizard in the family Scincidae . The species is known for its bright and vivid coloration. Native to tropical forests in Western Africa , the fire skink lives fifteen to twenty years. This species is a diurnal lizard that loves to burrow and hide. It is relatively shy and reclusive, but may become tame in captivity. The "fire skink" is can also be called "skink" for short. I believe you have learnt something new today. 5 Likes 3 Shares

Northmall:I’ve noticed that the people who own Nairaland accounts just to feel among are really dense when it comes to article comprehension. If after everything typed you didn’t get the name then there’s no hope for your matter. Try to engage in this forum from time to time, you’ll only get better for the effort. 1 Like |

scoundrel:Expatiate is particularly problematic because most people misspell it as exPANtiate or mis pronounce it as "ex-par- shi- et".(The correct pronunciation of expatiate is "ix-pei-shi-et".)I have said it before on nl that "exPANtiate" does not exist in english and somebody was sceptical - i believe he has been hearing the wrong word for so long that he assumed i must be wrong. 2 Likes |
