Liberia Slang Dictionary
Liberian slang is rooted in Kolokwa - Liberian Colloquial English - a distinctive spoken English shaped by the country's unique history and its many local languages. Heard on the streets of Monrovia, in hipco and gbema music, and in everyday conversation, it has a rhythm and vocabulary all its own. Expressive, warm and full of character, it's unlike any other English on the continent. Explore the community-built dictionary of Liberian slang below - and if you know a word that's missing, add it.
