Sorry, I won't stop saying "how was your night?"

You have to stop saying it cos if you say it to a White man, you might get a negative response or worst still a headbutt.

"How was your night" means " how did sex with your partner go last night" and not the supposed " hope you had a good night's rest"

Did you know that the phrase “How was your night ” In English Language means “How was last nights sex”?! ... according to doctors that sick people often have rough nights and most deaths too may occur at night so a doctors question during morning ward rounds is usually how was your night…

Nothing wrong with “How was your night?”

People sef undecided
So you expect the person to start explaining what happened in the night to you and everyone that says the same thing to him? What really is your business with another person's night? If you say stupid you may get stupid response. It may be correct when speaking yoruba (it's a standard morning greeting among the yoruba and it appears they just did a literal translation and it has caught on with other Nigerians).
Instead of "how was your night", why not simple "good morning" and go your own way. If you have a cause to ask after anything because of your relationship, be specific.

What did I just read?

Who told you sex is the only thing you do in the night. "How was your night?" is grammatically correct, it is left to describe if you had sex or sound sleep or partied hard through out the night.
People have various experiences in the nights, "How was your night" is a question for you to describe how your own night was.

As at that earpiece you got it wrong....it's not only phones that uses this earpiece
Even radio,TV ,Bluetooth and speakers has a hole in it that serves as space for earpiece
So are going to call it earbluetooth,earradio,eartv.
It's a piece meant for ears so therefore that thing is a fucking earpiece

I heard an interview where their Oga was saying the reason why they failed to give pple lights regularly was because they are not updated.In the sense That NEPA has chenged it's name for up to 3times(something like that) but pple won't listen,learn and sense the change of their association and moreover presently they are called DISCO and not NEPA....So if unna won upgrade your stupidity start saying Up DISCO instead of Up NEPA

Kindly note,
1. Mothers-in-law is a compound word and should have hyphens.
2. Gap tooth is better known as DIASTEMA
3. Instead of “Drinkable water”, it is better to say potable water. It means the same thing.
4. You spelt quarters wrongly as “quaters”. I guess that was a typographical error
5. The expression “Hope you slept well” is not a question per say and should never carry a question mark.
Kindly Verify!
