These terminologies are common among Ghanaians
It will not be the first time for most Ghanaians to find out that some terminologies they have known for decades, were actually corrupted versions of the proper terms.
For instance, who would have imagined that ‘traffigator’ actually means ‘traffic indicator,’ or, that ‘camboo’ rather means ‘camp boot?’
But that is not all.
In a video shared on Facebook by Afia Adutwumwaa and attributed to a Tiktok page, @afauslovelyschool, some young school children, with the help of a voice believed to be their teacher’s help Ghanaians understand better some of these other terms.
The children, for instance, remind people of the right ways to say things like cheer the boy, one homologous line, and others.
Also, another similar video from Tiktok has some other school children helping with some education of other such terminologies.
Below are the few of them:
One logologo line – One homologous line
Kalabule – Clever bully
Six meludo – Six may lead you
Dansinkran – Dancing crown
Chooboi – Cheer the boy
Gangalia – Gang leader
Camboo – Camp boot
Tankass – Town Council
Oseeyee! – All say yeah
Sagrenti War – Sir Garnet Wolseley War
Travigator – Traffic Indicator
Galamsey – Gather them and sell
Azos pipe – Exhaust pipe
Aniomarks – On your marks
Walentin boot – Wellington boot
Bofrot – Buff loaf
