Is it 'Chicken change'? How do you pronounce 'adjacent'?

#ComeToClassWithKingIfey

chicken change?

No dear, it is called

'Chicken feed'.

But wait a minute.  It is a slangy expression.  Perhaps you might just use it  only with friends in an informal way.

Chicken feed means a paltry sum of money. E.g for a year, I received chicken feed from the company I work for.

Chicken Change is 'UnEnglish '

Finally.

Adjacent is pronounced as

(aJEisnt)

Atabikwana ire biko(don't bite your tongue please)LOL.

Here is the phonetic transcription

/əˈdʒeɪs(ə)nt/

Do well to stick to it okay?  Especially those mathematicians.
Sorry,  I wasn't able to do the audio class last night.  I kipped before it was 10. Sorry guys.

Finally,  the class with King Ifey is done and dusted.  Get my projector someone and please inform your maths teacher that the word is aJEIsnt not AAjasent.

*leaves The class,  then looks in through the window*

Oh by the way,  'to kip' is a typical British way of saying 'to sleep'. See you later

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

Good morning KIB students. Thank you for showing immense love to your teacher. Many of you understand how draining it could be for someone to consistently post here on Facebook. I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city". We freighted the cargo down to Port Harcourt. freight is used when  goods are quite bulky. When good...
