You’re resting because of the holiday, but how many words can you make out it? If you score above 15, you’re free to take two extra days off. You deserve it.

Look how well you did. If it was up to you, every day would be a public holiday.

Imagine if autocorrect didn’t exist and you had to defend your English degree by spelling literature terms… Let’s see how well you would do by taking this quiz.
FYI, this is not the time to befriend Google. Answer with your chest.

“NIGERIA” can be rearranged to make 73 English words. Can you get 25?
It’s only in Nigeria that a house described as “luxury” will lack parking space, running water, and have a kitchen the size of a broom closet.
If I had a Naira for every time a Nigerian politician has commissioned an “ultra-modern” thing that ended up being an incredibly regular version of said thing, I would have enough money to japa.
This reminds me of when a boat company put out a flyer charging N500,000 for couple’s cruise with a “gourmet” dinner that was just fried yam and sauce.
This one is on the same table with luxury. When Nigerians say a thing is “state of the art,” I can assure you that said thing is at least 3 models behind.
Do you know how many super corrupt people have dedicated themselves to the “fight against anti-corruption”? I laugh in deceit.
It will always bother me that the definition of “youth” in this country somehow includes middle-aged people. Everywhere you look, there are 45-year-olds leading youth groups.
If the hospitals the government has been are “world class” as they claim, why do they keep flying out of the country medical procedures?
The number of charlatans out in these streets collecting money from people in the name of “master class” only to dish out generic information from page 1 of Google’s search results will blow your mind.
“Patronise XYZ Real Estate. We rent out housesweekly or monthly at uniquely affordable rates. Our first house is N350,000 A NIGHT…”
Aspirational marketing strikes again.
Give me a moment. I have to go check on the group of Instagram clothing venders that fell off the table I just broke.
This one goes out to all the people who start skincare lines out of nowhere (probably as a last resort) and keep screaming “organic” up and down when they paid people to make the products and don’t even know what’s in them.
I’ve come to the conclusion that some restaurants just slap “bistro” at the end of their name so they can charge ridiculous amounts for their terribly mediocre food.
As a human with a filthy mind, there’s nothing I enjoy more than when people say innocent words/phrases and I’m suddenly overcome by a violent case of the giggles because I have different meanings for said words/phrases in my head.
I never tell them why I’m laughing like a maniac. I usually just say I remembered some random funny thing, which I guess could be construed as rude (because it means you weren’t paying attention to what they were saying). But if it means keeping the fun going for as long as possible, I don’t mind.
Here’s a list of some of those words:
You never truly understand the awkwardness of this word until your mum calls for you and after responding with, “I’m coming!” you remember every porn climax you’ve ever seen and cringe in disgust.
The first time I saw this used as “cum” was in 2009, so I thought it was a fairly recent thing. So imagine the shock I felt when I found out that the slang itself has been a thing since the 1600s! It turns out 17th century people were freakier than I thought and I’m super impressed.
I’m dying because this word didn’t always mean what crossed your mind after reading it just now. But the new meaning has gotten so entrenched in our collective consciousness that the first response on Google is a Cosmopolitan article on how to get a girl to do it.
I hate humanity.
The alternate meaning for word kinda makes the entire Ice Age movies seem weird because of that one character that spends the entire franchise chasing a nut…
This is a conversation I overheard the other day between two co-workers trying to decide what to get for lunch.
Co-worker 1: “Are you buying rice again today?“
Co-worker 2: “Nah. I really feeling swallowing today.“
Me (in the corner of the room): *dies*
I’ll never forget when I asked a friend of mine for the head of his charger and he ran out of the room because he heard wrong and thought I asked him for head.
Which one is allowance? Are they not ‘allowing’ you live in their house for free? My friend, will you leave this place.
2. “Privacy”
You want them to give you privacy in their own house? You want them to knock before they enter your bedroom? You’re a joker. You will get privacy when you move out and marry.
3. “Dating”
Which one is dating? Better face your book, graduate, then you can ‘date’ your spouse after both of you have married finish.
4. “Sex”
Sex doesn’t exist. Simpu. The end. Full stop. Bye.
5. “Rest”
Rest ke? Are you God? Even God created the whole world before he rested? What have you done in your small life that you are resting? You can rest when you have died, abeg.
6. “Please”
Why are the people that gave birth to you telling you “please” biko? So they should beg you to bring the remote that is right beside them? You are not a serious somebody.
7. “Sorry”
Shebi people only say sorry when they are wrong? Well, there you have it, your parents can never be wrong. So why should they even know that word?
8. “Thank you”
Wait, you want your parents to thank you for doing something? See this comedian. The only time you might mistakenly hear those words is if you tell them “I love you.”
9. “Adult”
You think you are now an adult because you have turned 18 abi 21? Ehn go and report to the police that your parents don’t know what adult means. You will still chop all these slaps and punishments.
10. “Sick”
You’re not sick, you are well in Jesus’ name. Now stand up from that hospital bed, wear your uniform and be going to school.
11. “Sleepover”
You want to go and sleep inside another person’s house? You don’t have house? You don’t have bed? Infact, you don’t have sense.
12. “Whispering”
Why should they be whispering? If they don’t shout on the phone and at the person standing right beside them, how will people now hear what they are saying?
13. “Grounded”
Which kind of oyinbo nonsense is that one, abeg? Go an bring that cane from their room now now jare.
