Bini Insults! by Atreides(f): 2:03pm On Jan 09, 2011 |
I am proudly Bini(Not Esan or Etsako but Edo main). Now i'm a very good child(i really am),but for some reason everybody's(which means my mom) always insulting me(hehe. . ). I think Bini insults are colorful and very funny,so this thread is for all Bini people to tell us the funniest Bini insults they've heard/been called. I know a LOT of Bini insults and i'll go first. . I'm not very good at writing Bini but i'm sure you'll figure it out. My personal favorite is: 'Ewe no l'ovban re'. Others are;'Ewobi','Emila','Ozuo'(such a classic!),'Erere we ma gba','Ozuo nu ma ko','Emamuonowayekowa'(i'm sure that's not the correct spelling but the insult means something like this-someone who is selling in a market,and when every other normal person is facing the direction where customers are passing by,the person is backing the customers,or something like that). Any more Bini insults? |

Re: Bini Insults! by amazonia(m): 4:52pm On Feb 03, 2011 |
Amusing thread. Whenever i commit atrocity, my grand-dad use to scream ; Evbeen-oba re edo unu. you know then you are in trouble. Urhie-kpokehor---this is a bad curse. It mean "Do you eat vomitus?" |
Re: Bini Insults! by Atreides(f): 5:14pm On Feb 03, 2011 |

Re: Bini Insults! by Nobody: 3:30pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Atreides: YES . . . that's it! I'm not bini oh, but I was born and bred in the heart of Benin City. I'm always too embarrassed to mention it outside sha because aside from the basic 'Edo language' we learnt in Primary school, I don't understand the bini! |
Re: Bini Insults! by Atreides(f): 3:35pm On Feb 04, 2011 |

Re: Bini Insults! by honeric01(m): 4:42pm On Feb 04, 2011 |
Atreides: 100% Bini but came into existence in Lagos. How can Erere mean Head? Though i am not good at writing bini, but i know Erere is not head. Yes, armpit hunter, one of my elder brother use to "pluck" his armpit and any other person's armpit available while we were growing up, hence we named him that |
