/ Echo chamber. I guess he hasn't heard of frenemies. What happens then? It is one of those silly statements that people make. Like the ones that echo "What God cannot do does not exist". There could be a negative connotation to that statement. / |

folake4u: Why would you call your husband 'Ode' which means stupid in the first place? Calling someone Ode is already provocative; if a 'fight' comes out of it, your luck. 4 Likes |

folake4u: You are right, depends on how I see it. I find it as an insult and interestingly, others around me think it same. I have never had a friend, family member or husband call me such. Ditto same with me. I guess it is popular with younger folks. Don't even see anyone my age and above do such. 3 Likes |

Re: Marry Your Friend by folake4u(f): 7:14pm On May 28, 2023 |
bukatyne: Yes. Context matters A LOT. Well, you're the Millennials generation and it would look insulting for a spouse, friend or family member to call you such. Meanwhile, it is not so with my generation, the Gen Z. A lover, friend or family member can playfully call us "Ode" and it would be endearing. I searched the word "Ode" on my Whatsapp and it wasn't an insult in any of my convos. 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie:how you met your partner and hw long you have courted him/her directly influence your chances in relationship and marriage, while courting you will see the tolerance you both have.. i know most people get into marriages these days because they think their partner is living comfortable and are compatible with each other so they dnt need to rate other aspects of their life. 1 Like |
Re: Marry Your Friend by XAUBulls: 7:46pm On May 28, 2023 |
folake4u:Objection! Ode is NOT a pleasant word to say to a man you are in a long-term relationship with depending on the tone of voice used by the female spouse and vice versa. It's rather insidious and can lead to a collapse of the marriage. On the other hand, ode or the English translation called "fool/stupid" can be used in a jocular way though based on how you say it, and both of you can engage in a pillow fight and tickle each other as part of some pre-intimacy rituals, but this should not be overused because most men have a healthy ego.

folake4u: I want to follow peace this evening Gen Z, the mental health generation. Even for we late millenials, we are as far apart as year 1999 to year 2000. I remember a Gen Z colleague who was talking about mental health and claustrophobia like you guys just invented the words. I looked at her and told her that I have been claustrophobic since before she was born and it is not limiting me or affecting my 'mental health' in anyway. Na patience we go dey use deal with una. 2 Likes |

Nice2023: You are subtly telling us you have at least a girlfriend; so how do you love your wife so much, your best friend, yet you keep a girlfriend? I am just curious. |
Re: Marry Your Friend by Yoighaman(m): 8:50pm On May 28, 2023 |
folake4u: But why call your spouse "Ode"? Love or marriage isn't an excuse for insult, whether said jokingly or not; it's like calling him or her "Oloshi". There are better approaches. My opinion though. |
Re: Marry Your Friend by folake4u(f): 8:58pm On May 28, 2023 |
Yoighaman: I see you're a Millennial. It's not an insult please, to us Gen Z especially when used jokingly. |
Re: Marry Your Friend by Yoighaman(m): 9:05pm On May 28, 2023 |
folake4u: Irrespective of the age range by generation, what I meant was that it is an insult to call your spouse "Ode", whether you are joking or not. There should be some level of respect. I don't know if this is what you mean as well. |
Re: Marry Your Friend by folake4u(f): 9:06pm On May 28, 2023 |
Yoighaman: There was a typo in my last post. It's not an insult to us. Context matters. To each his own. |
