Nigerian English sounds awesome

For example, a TV isn't switched on or off — it's "on-ed" or "off-ed."

A Nigerian congratulating someone on a success or victory will likely "felicitate" him rather than offer felicitations. Similarly, people are invited to "jubilate," or celebrate, a triumph...

As long as they're felicitating, and not fellating. There's a time and a place for everything.

True story: I have been known to confuse "flagellation" with "fellatio".

OH&S if simultaneously applied!

no such thing as OH&S in your own bedroom... :P

What? It was a good answer! Most hilarious!

The death was of laughter.

anything that makes you convulse in pain - be you the fellatior or fellatiee - could have serious asphyxiation-type consequences. convulsing with pleasure is entirely acceptable, however. medical fact i just made up. so if you like your flagellation, go for it. XX, pix
