~~ Singlish of the Day! ~~
Following a great response to the singlish of the day word, we decided to bring u another word..
Mug! ~~ No, its not the mug u use to drink kopi.... No, its not to rob someone...
Mug in Singlish means......
1) Read or study in a concentrated manner, learn by hard or concentrated study;
2) A student who works with particular diligence or concentration; a swot;
3) A person overly concerned with studying, a bookworm.
Related words ~~ Mugging : Action of doing it
~~ Mugger : Use to categorise people who mugs
How to use the word??!!!
Mug : I'm going to mug for my exam!
Mugging : Can't you see i'm mugging for the freaking presentation??!!
Mugger : xJC people are all chao-mugger!
Isn't Singlish just plain wonderful??? You can invent and re-invent words by adding "er" or "ing" to it....Stay tuned for more.... =)
