2. The first cry of a new born baby is called Vagitus


3. Your little toe or finger is called Minimus


4. The dot over an "i" or a "j" is called Tittle


5. When your stomach rumbles, that's a Wamble

I think we've known too much English as it is, especially considering how we came about speaking the language.
You guys should chill abeg.

Do you know every word in your own language?
Can your kids speak your language?
Or it doesn't matter, you've accepted the white man as your lord and saviour.

Having a name for so many things or phenomena; one of what makes English stronger...

Unfortunately English didn't have name for everything.
For example why do we greet "good evening" at night instead of good night?
There is no phrase for someone that just arrive home as a response to "welcome"
On a particular day I can mentioned up to ten words in my dialect that is non existing in English

How are new words formed?
Richy4:
According to Global Language monitor, About 1000 new words are added every year... So it depends on when these ones came onboard...

Even Merriam Webster added 455 new words to it's dictionary not too long ago... Words are like fashion. It depends on who is following smiley
