[quote author=sweerychick post=139489527]That's rubbish, flashed is just a phrased expression, the have to know what you flashed, I flashed her can mean many things

1 I flashed a torchlight, I flashed my cash, I flashed my jewelry, you have to be specific what you flashed. Unless a dumb officer approaches you and arrest you without knowing what you meant. What if they arrest you and you didn't flash your nudes instead it was just a call?[/quote

Don't mind the over sabi op ... The OP must be a terrible teacher to limit flashing to Nudes while they are dozens of things one can flash...

It is not drugs, it's called medication.
I know someone detained for that wrong choice of word in UK.

Ogbeni, who tell you say them Dey talk medication for UK? It is drugs or medicine. Period! The fact that some drugs dey alter mind no mean say drugs no dey wey dey treat person. Una go just open mouth waaa dey talk wetin pass una power

CaptainFM1:
Calm down. I schooled in the UK. And on many occasions our tutors would tell us we speak better English than them. They speak horrible slangs and grammar in those countries than us.

I wanted to say this to him as well. Americans speaking standard English? 🤣🤣 Rapmoney

Rapmoney:
Never use this expression: 'I flashed her' or 'I flashed him' when you find yourself in a country where standard English is spoken. Examples are the United Kingdom, US, Australia, Canada, etc.

REASON: It might be a slang for saying you called someone and hang up quickly for them to call you back in Nigeria, but in these countries, it means to show someone your unclothedness or nude, which is a very serious crime

WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD: The standard English for that expression is 'I gave him or her a missed call' or 'I gave him or her a quick ring'.

I hope you have learnt something today?

Which school this person 👆go wey dem dey teach ‘I gave her a missed call’? Ogbeni, no lie. You don pass WAEC English? I recommend Brighter Grammar for you. Go buy am sharp sharp

Hezzyluv:
Okay op.

I flashed her do ya worse.

Go tell that to Trump and find out their worst.

Lol una dey always talk like abroad ppl are dumb

yemmit90:
You can never tell, you can flash someone for different reasons. It is not always about not having a call card, sometimes you flash to remind someone about something.

there is nothing like that where i dey . 😂

I’m still trying to decide if you’re more of a 'troublemaker' or 'sweetheart' vibe. I have a feeling it’s a dangerous mix of both.

Lol. I remember my cousin who won US visa lottery years back. He was coming from Wallgreens and the police pulled him over. They asked him, sir, what do you have inside your back pack and he said drugs and his laptop. . The officer said, I beg your pardon and he repeated what he said. Na so the police call his colleague, dragged him out and searched the car thoroughly. All the found inside his back pack was a mini laptop and an antacid, for indigestion They asked for the 3rd time and he said same thing. He was taken to their custody, His brother had to come over.

On getting to the station, he explained to him what happened and his brother was laughing loudly in front of the officers who were looking so stern at him. Firstly, he apologised that it's actually an antacid, a medication and it's called drugs in the British English which our curriculum was based on in Nigeria. Drugs in the US mean hard substances. They call what we know as drugs, medication in the US

Wetin concerns us with that yeye talk.. when we reach the bridge we go cross for here nothing really concerns us with proper English we spoke anything skpokable

"I flashed her/him". Who will be pressing charges? Is the Police going to arrest the person?.. for flashing who? ...who was flashed? ...who is the victim? A man arrested for saying that will be smiling all the way to the court .... then all the way to the bank after filing then winning his unlawful arrest case.

BarrElChapo:

Ok

Nairaland FP don suffer since lalasticala left the position, the moderation of topic generally and FP specifically has continued to slide,let me not say more than this because it might be hidden if it offends

PDJT:
- "I will ring her back" is absolutely perfect grammar in Britain.👌🏽 Except if you speak made-up English language like they do in the USA, Canada and other anglophone countries.

That's why you all fail IELTs cos you are following the native speaker speak bad grammar

Hezzyluv:
Okay op.

I flashed her do ya worse.

No try am again

Rubbish. It will cause a misunderstanding which will quickly be cleared by contacting the third party.

Rapmoney:
When you see a useless and mediocre post, move ahead to other posts. You must not comment. Stop fooling yourself.

See this one. Your mediocrity is even louder than the point you’re trying to make.

You are overthinking, no one can be arrested for saying flash, cos the word flashing has too many variables and the interpretation usually begins from the context for which it is used. Beside if you are telling a person that you indeed flash them inside a private place and the person you f lashed is an adult and they do not make a complain, there would be no issue, we dwell on the internet too much.
PS where did you fish this foto from?cos the UK outlawed the use of such hand cuffs more than 5 years ago, they are now isued rigid bar cuffs.

Also using the word Drugs for medication is another word that can land you in serious trouble over there.

You are one of those people who speak borrowed English It is very correct to say I will ring you back, there is nothing wrong, you are not going to fail any test if you wrote that. That page you copy and paste is of same IQ as you.

Once again, it depends on the context which it is being used, no one buying Drugs that are banned call it drugs, they call it a slang name.
