Disvirgin, pass-carpeting, pass-gradual & 7 greater ‘words’ you won’t discover in the dictionary By @ChineduRylan

Number 11 will weak you ah swear
grin

Check out this phrase beneath

1. Installmentally
This “word” is a fave of many Nigerians, however, unfortunately, it surely does not exist. You gained’t locate it any professional dictionary.

The accurate aspect to say whilst “installmentally” comes in your mind is in installments or by installment.

2. Plumpy
Nigerians use “plumpy” when they want to mention that someone is obese or slightly fat. The accurate expression is plump.

3. Disvirgin
This particular “word” is used severally on a day by day basis, particularly by means of Nigerian men once they intend saying that a lady has lost her virginity to a guy.

The accurate phrase to apply, but, is deflower, because “disvirgin” isn't a phrase.

4. Crosscarpeting or move-carpeting
This is a favorite of Nigerian politicians and political analysts alike. They use it after they need to mention that a politician has dumped his political birthday party for every other birthday party, generally a rival celebration.

The right phrases to apply while describing this scenario are birthday celebration switching, defection and crossing the ground and no longer “cross-carpeting” or “crosscarpeting.”

5. Go-slow
The phrase pass-sluggish exists, but now not within the manner Nigerians use it. A “pass-gradual,” inside the above all Nigerian context, is a scenario wherein road site visitors is very gradual due to vehicle queues.

However, move-sluggish inside the English language actually approach an industrial tactic utilized by employees wherein they intentionally reduce interest, productivity and performance if you want to press domestic a few demands.

When this takes place, you assert that work inside the workplace, manufacturing facility or enterprise is at a move-sluggish.

The correct terms to apply while road site visitors may be very gradual due to car queues are visitors jam, site visitors congestion, gridlock, and (less technically) maintain-up, not “cross-gradual.”

6. Cunny
“Cunny” is not observed in authoritative dictionaries, but it is able to be located in a few slang dictionaries. Over there, it's far a slang used to consult a lady’s vagina.

The accurate term to apply is foxy (which is used to describe someone that is being deceitful or cunning) and not “cunny.”
