Green Room - Week 2 - Day 1

Tonight has been moving along faster than it takes for Lois Lerner to take the 5th, and here we are, already into the "morning after" the polls have closed.

The results are here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/654816.html
The new topic for the main competition is located: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/654975.html
and Second Chance Idol has even gotten into the fun: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/655296.html

So really, it's a little something for everyone!

Did you pick your topic out immediately, or are you still allowing the choices to swim in your brain for long enough for a coherent thought to form around one of them?

Abi?

Not that I recall but I will ask one of my Nigerian friends. If you want I could put you in direct contact with him, he's been very helpful and willing to teach me the finer points of pidgin usage.

One notices the oooo showing up at the ends of other phrases as well. Another common pidgin element is ending sentences with "abi?" which means roughly "okay?" or "you follow?" etc. (:
