In campus, we have some common phrases that are popular among the student fraternity. And as a communication student who is very keen on the language use during conversations and chats, I found it ‘worthy’ to compile this list just in case you needed to know the REAL meaning/translation of some of this phrases.
‘K’− You are totally boring and I want to end this conversation.
“Oh”− I don’t know what else to say
“Ok”− I am busy
“Yup”− Stop talking to me
“Umemaliza assignment?”− I have not done my assignment and I want to copy yours right now.
“I got swag” − I am just another overgrown teenager who still thinks acting stupid makes one famous.
“Me ni hustler”− I am broke most of the time
“Uko single?”− I was dumped the other day; I am, therefore, interested in you.
“Uko stage?” − I am about to come there so prepare to buy me food or booze
“My twin”− My close friend who looks nothing like me
“Hii story hapana!”− This is no longer a laughing matter and this situation is now considered serious.
“My heart is taken but I’m single”− She/he doesn’t love me any more
“Siwezi make kutembea, nimechoka”− unless you are buying me chips or smokie, I am not willing to go with you
“Me ni half cast”− I am ashamed of my original tribe and therefore I can’t mention it in public
“I am broke”− I only have enough money for ME.
“Umm.. I got a boyfriend “− Not only are you ugly, you are broke too. Get out of my face
“Whatever!”− I refuse to continue the conversation because you have ruined my mood!
“Why are you lying?”− Why are you telling people something TRUE that I don’t want them to know?
“LOL”− I was flirting, but just in case you are not feeling it, I will make it seem like a joke
“Girl, you will not believe what happened to me”− Prepare to hear my exaggerated version of the story
“I swear sitaambia mtu yeyote”− except my three best friends, my boyfriend, his sister and that random guy on FB, everyone else won’t know about it!
“Mwakenya”− an external micro hard disk that is very essential for intellectual reinforcements in the exam room (as per University student’s dictionary, Moi Uni Edition 2013)
“Naenda library kuchop”− Exams are beginning tomorrow
“Class imebounce”− God answered my prayers. I now have extra 3 hours to watch my favourite series
“Unaishi hostel gani?”− I am idle today and therefore I wouldn’t mind visiting you at your place.
“My dad loves me so much”- I receive M-Pesa messages on regular basis from my father.
“Ok”− I am busy
