Gotta Love the Lingo
So based on some conversations, and the fact that I have learned enough slang terms from my teenage cousin to last me a lifetime I have decided to do a one-to-one comparison of American and Ghanaian slang terms or Twi versions.  If you have some others, please comment so I can amend the list...oya let's go!
