MissMeiya: Forreals? Bet they all had faux-british accents and no learning. I've met their type before, the more the fake accent, the less they actually know. Sometimes to mess them up, I would randomly bring up one daft discussion they can't keep up with e.g. The Signing of the Magna Carta, Settlement of the Europeans into South America, Mining practises and the Potato Blight of Ireland, Ancient Bedding customs of the Benue people and Reincarnation beliefs amongst the Ika of Delta. Watching their eyes glaze over because they had ZERO idea about what I was talking about, priceless Ah, the good old days.... 2 Likes |

Misblah: Prattle means mindless chatter that goes on and on. Think of lots of children talking together about nothing in particular or women aimlessly gisting about nothing in particular. Feel free to use it to describe any thread on NL about Tonto Dikeh henceforth: Mindless Prattle Onomatopoeic words are words that describe a sound e.g meow, honk honk, ding dong, boom, bang-bang (for guns, not the male type!) So the snake went "hissss" at the girl's bare ankles, is a good example of Onomaetopeia. |
