Get the tropro mug.Trotro (Ghana)
*Alias "Troski"
*Pronounced: "Traw-traw" (like the word 'draw')
Private-owned buses and vans that act as the biggest and cheapest means of inter-city mass transportation in Ghana. The buses are typically minibuses or vans, with the most popular being Nissan Urvan 15-seaters and Mercedes Benz Sprinter or D 309 vans. Seating arrangements typically include:
• two "front seats" up by the driver's seat
• about 4 rows of longer bench seats with the bus conductor (called the "Mate") at the seat closest to the vehicle door.
The word may have been derived from the Ga (Gà) word "tro" meaning "pesewa" (the smallest unit of Ghanaian currency), given the trotro's status as a cheap means of transportation.
Trotros are typically decorated with flags and stickers of various countries or (local and international) soccer teams, and with witty sayings, wisecracks, local proverbs or Bible verses printed on the bus's rear.

1. How did you get here? / I took a trotro.
2. His day couldn't have been worse. While waiting in that heavy downpour to grab a taxi, he was assailed with mud and dirty rain water by a speeding trotro. To Boat's annoyance, the only "apology" he got from the mate's mouth was an energetic "Circ-Kanesh."

Tropoflavin (7,8-dihydroxyflavone; 7,8-DHF; DHF) is a supplement that is an antioxidant. It has also been found to act as a potent and selective small-molecule agonist of the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), the main signaling receptor of the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In addition, tropoflavin possesses powerful antioxidant activity independent of its actions on the TrkB receptor, and protects against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, 6-hydroxydopamine-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity,28 and oxidative stress-induced genotoxicity. It was also found to block methamphetamine-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity, an effect which, in contrast to the preceding, was found to be TrkB-dependent. 7,8-dihydroxyflavone protects against stimulant induced glutamate exitotoxicity and dopaminergic neurotoxicity. By stacking amphetamine or other stimulants with Tropoflavin, you can prevent brain damage. However, you can't prevent cardiotoxicity. So choose a less cardiotoxic stimulant like amphetamine, Ritalin, caffeine, or EthylAmphetamine, or Modafinil, the wakefulness enhancer, instead of choosing more cardiotoxic stimulants like crack. Crack is wack (meaning it sucks and ruins your life all for a short lasting high), Cocaine is brokane (it breaks apart your life), coke is broke (because it turns you broke), speed(amphetamine, EthylAmphetamine) will help me succeed.

I stacked 15mg EthylAmphetamine with 25mg Tropoflavin (7,8-Dihydroxyflavone) and I prevented brain damage. Tropoflavin is awesome!

Get the Tropoflavin mug.'Going Troppo' is an exclusively Australian slang term for 'going crazy'. The popular understanding about it's origin is that it comes from stories of the tropical heat in the northern parts of Australia driving people crazy.
