Is this grammatically correct? What does it mean? Any possible rephrasing? ...because it’s Thursday, permit me to throwback to 15-16 years ago, when my uncle’s wife was showing me shege Negodi my fine legs first😄 When rephrasing, maintain where I
The sentence is mostly grammatically correct, although the phrase "showing me shege" might be unclear to some readers who are not familiar with Nigerian Pidgin. "Shege" is a slang term in Nigerian Pidgin that can refer to trouble or hardship.
Here's a breakdown of the meaning:
- "because it’s Thursday, permit me to throwback to 15-16 years ago" indicates that the speaker wants to reminisce or go back in time to a memory.
- "when my uncle’s wife was showing me shege" suggests that the speaker experienced some difficulty or trouble when they were younger, as demonstrated by the actions of their uncle's wife.
- "Negodi my fine legs first" adds a playful element, with "negodi" meaning "look at" in Nigerian Pidgin, indicating that the speaker wants to draw attention to their "fine legs" or good looks.
Here’s a possible rephrasing while keeping the mix of Nigerian Pidgin and English:
"...because it’s Thursday, let me take you back to 15-16 years ago, when my uncle’s wife was showing me shege.
Negodi my fine legs first! 😄"
This retains your original structure and intent while making it slightly clearer and more engaging.
