I have not seen a white man or woman hissed. . Seriously where did this hissing epidemic originated from? Mostly Nigerians, they enjoy hissing more than snakes. I mean mtshewwww.

Hiss around a Ghanaian and you'd be lucky to escape with your tongue still in your mouth.

Btw,OP can you successfully differentiate sighing from hissing.lolz

^sighing sometimes goes with a deep breathe.

carribeans also do it.

In Senegal, it's culturally acceptable to hiss to get someone's attention, like when catching a cab. I think it's inappropriate to hiss in disgust or distaste. Let's not get into teeth sucking as if it's a national sport.

. . .while hissing comes with a looong sigh.

Nigerians can hiss? most especially when u offend or do some provoking things that pissed em off</sup> [/size]

I beg to disagree. My husband is part Spanish and Black (from PA). That man can hiss and even add "up and down" eyeing on top of it!
Not long after we got married, we were arguing and the next thing i heard was this elongated hiss, in short i was so shocked that i stopped arguing and started laughing. I asked him where he learnt that from and he doesn't even know. He said he just started doing it one day many years ago when he was disagreeable with something his parents were saying to him. The day he eyed me up and down for the first time, i almost fainted! My mom always used to tell him that he shld check his black heritage because his black ancestors might actually come from Nigeria.
