back in those days at the barrack the only abusive language we know was WANKA by stretching out our five fingers towards the person we want to abusive. i thought it was only being used by nigerians and mainly by those who knows how to speak the pidgin english.. so i was watching an american movie on my laptop using earpies then i heard this same language WANKA but it was spelt as *self-servicer* on the subtitle which only +18 individual understand... i hope you now understand

Type WAN and add KER to complete the word and nairaland lacastilala admin will help you to define it.. try it and see the MAGIC!... JUST JOIN THE TWO WORDS TOGETHER and post it as a comment and see ya comment

I'm surprised people existed who didn't know what waka meant. I knew it even as a six year old.
Okay, let me teach OP something also: there are places in this very Nigeria where the curse means nothing. For it to work the natives need to come across a sizeable Hausa population. This is not the case in many places.
The insult doesn't move me anymore because I see it as wasted energy on the person's part plus I haven't heard it in near ten years so before it can get me emotional the moment will long pass.
