https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTBev2WgLdI?si=b8N7FH-kvRlCH9tc Did you know these everyday things actually have names? 1. The space between your eyebrows is called a glabella. 2. The fresh smell after rain is petrichor. 3. The plastic tip of your shoelace? That’s an aglet! 4. A rumbling stomach is a wamble. 5. A newborn’s cry is vagitus. 6. Fork prongs are tines. 7. The light you see when pressing your eyes is phosphenes. 8. That little plastic table in a pizza box? It’s a box tent. 9. The day after tomorrow is overmorrow. 10. Your tiny toe is minimus. 11. A champagne cork’s wire cage is an agraffe, while meaningless "na na na" in songs are vocables. 12. The space between nostrils is columella nasi, and the hole where your sleeve attaches is an armscye. 13. Struggling to get out of bed? That’s dysania. 14. A messy handwriting is griffonage, the dot over an "i" is a tittle, and feeling sick after overeating is crapulence. How many did you already know?

Useless information. What the usefulness of knowing their names? "the this one of your this is called that", what is the usefulness of knowing what they are called?!!! The idiot wey push this stupid post to front page go think say him do push educative content to FP, rubbish. These are the kinds of things we teach our primary school students and think we are educating them, not knowing we are just wasting their precious time. |

I knew words would exist for almost everything because the white man enjoys compartmentalizing things, situations and people. You see, a fatherless mongrel is already complaining that this isn’t education. This topic alone is worth more than a thousand Natasha vs Akpabio write-ups. I believe he’s angry that it isn’t another waist bead topic. |
