Some people don't know the meaning of "MUMMY" that we usually call our mother and some old women
According to OXFORD dictionary "MUMMY" means bad things examples are (1) Mummy means dead body (corpse) or dead animal (carcass)
(2) MUMMY is also the way Egyptians preserved (embalming) dead body before buried
Please be informed. Ignorance is a disease.

All these clever by half and dimwitted "Òmùgọ́s" we have prowling nairaland these days, sigh.

"Mummy" is simply the British spelling of the word, while "Mommy" is the American way of spelling it.

While it is true that the English spelling (Mummy) also refers to an embalmed corpse, it is also true that context matters when we use words. If I say:

" I met Kunle's mummy in Church today" only an idiot would think I was referring to meeting a dead corpse.
