bros it's now mainstream like he said ... Even the UK people say it alot...

That's true...

But it's still not formal, it is still colloquial English

Samantha125:
Well, I'm a South African and one thing about us black South Africans is that we like learning about other people's languages and cultures.

This is a big fat lie. Let's be honest most south Africans don't travel to other African nations or learn about other African languages and culture, that's the reason there is so much xenophobia there

It would pass for a slang ...


That's what the thread was for anyways ..

The colloquial words frequently used not found in the dictionary....

henrycloud:
disvirgin

Turns out it's an actual word...

Upside down

Why did you turn it upside down

Unserious

immortalcrown:
Obidient,

Batified,

Atikulated,

Balabulu,

Practicalize,

Trafficate (This one will likely enter dictionary soon.)

Practicalize is an English word

Stupidity

Vawulence

Troublem

When the words trouble or problem alone does not portray the gravity of an awkward situation you wish to express.

Disgusty

I don't even know how this came about guessing it is our own home grown adjectival form of the word disgust.

Viccur:
Ours is British English not American's. That word is wrong. Could be correct in American English.

What are you talking? Be humble enough to accept correction. Any English word that is acceptable in American or British English can be said to be correct

Although the word 'Practicalise' isn't commonly used in the UK or US, it's definitely an English word. Similarly, the verb 'Trafficate' is an English word spoken by over 200 million English speakers of west Africa.

Are you now being xenophobic towards me for being a foreign national on a public platform that was created by a Nigerian?

Facebook was also made purely for Americans, but aren't there any Nigerians on Facebook?

There's also this other Ghanaian forum I was in before I joined nairaland and Nigerians are packed in there, more active than the Ghanaians, but I haven't seen a single Ghanaian asking them what they were doing on a Ghanaian forum.

So why is my case different?😥😥😥

Desusi:
How did you find yourself into this platform? I meant how did you get to know about naira land. This platform is purely made for Nigerians.

What genre is it then? 😒😒😒
