Very interesting list. I have been trying to get familiar with some, esp LWKMD, some I am seeing for the first time. I should add
SMHISM I- " shake my head in slow motion"

Harry said...

The rest.... yea... They are a little far fetched... How can someone keep all these in their head?

Omoregee said...

Most of 'em are new to me.....only familiar with the popular ones...LWKM, ROTFLMAO-Rolling on the floor laffing my a** off, SMH-Shaking my head.

I guess these slangs are Naija customized.
