Tuwale

Tuwale/Twale/Tuale is a word that comes with hand salute. Unlike most military salutes where one hand is used, both hands are raised (as if in a surrender) to praise a person when Tuwale is said. The origin is most likely amongst youths of Mushin, Lagos (or nearby urban Ghetto) who uses it to pay obeisance to senior authority or just to be a sycophant. The etymology of the word is likely a Yoruba phrase "Tu-owo-le", which literarily translates to "hands spread out". - by Ojise Isedale
