Ayomarcel:

You are actually wrong about "Wamble".
Understand me. I said it's a british slang. I didn't say it was wrong.

if not that we have lost originality to our local dialect ; I’m
100% certain our local dialect had names for it too. I wish English never existed. Even till date we still struggle to write and speak the language. That’s why the white mans says before we come to study in their country/ies, we must “TOEFL.” Up...SMDH

DriggityDre:
I guess I'm familiar with all of them. You misspelled number 1. It is glabella with a 'B'
Number 4 (wamble) is actually a UK slang, like 'innit'.
Number 9 (overmorrow) is now archaic/obsolete. The word is rarely used.
You also misspelled number 20. It is brannock with an 'R'
Thanks for the correction�
