Grumpy Ned's definitions
This is a question typically asked by Nigerians to show care or pretend to worry about your 'stomach'. The question 'have you eaten?' is sometimes met with silence, heavy sigh, or a lie. And If the reply is 'I haven't eaten', there is a chance you will hear 'Go and cook na'.
The question could also suggest strong term of endearment.
The phrase is exactly what you get If someone likes you
It's also an annoying question we love to hear, even though we act like we don't
Three words that have lost their originally intended meaning
A serious inquiry that should not be taken seriously

Get the Have You Eaten? mug.An English corruption of the word "Igbo" (used to describe an ethnic group of people living chiefly in South Eastern Nigeria). This is largely due to the English man's poor attempt at articulating the "gb" bilabial in Igbo.

Get the Ibo mug.A term for a highly obsessive fan of a certain 'controversial' Nigerian artiste, Naira Marley. Marlians are the most terrifying music fanbase out there. And in case it wasn't obvious, it's a combination of Marley and lie-on (pronounced as lee-ann).
Members are young persons in their late teens and early 20s, and adults who missed out on their childhood - they all obsess over him to no end.
In many minds of Marlians, Naira Marley is the second coming of the legendary Bob Marley.
Members of Marlian will not hesitate to harass fans of Simi, Ruggedman, Adekunle Gold and upstanding members of society.
Their chief weapon (among others) is simulated masturbation act in public and foul-mouthed rhymes.

Get the Marlian mug.It's a popular Nigerian expression for "In the end i did my best". It is often used by Nigerian men with lower sex drive than their partners (especially when the partner wants sex more often and in a more erotic way)
Although the term gained popularity through a song by Timaya named "I Can't Kill Myself" in 2019. As the popularity of the phrase has increased so too has the number of different meanings associated with it.
