How to properly say ‘one logologo line,’ ‘chooboi’ and other common terminologies in Ghana

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
