campus nelogisms

i have been in campus for quite along now. But of things in campus i believe that campus language is the most dynamic and most interesting to document and follow. I am documenting the language developed by a few of my friends and and i can't help but be baffled by their ingenuity.

My friend Joe calls buns prepared outside the campus cafeteria 'mandazi omena' obviously from his unproved hypothesis that they are prepared with used cooking fat used for preparing fish. My  room mate on the other hand them mandazi mwitu. From calling girls 'nyau' i think campus language is the most dynamic a sure way to express oneself for young men in a differential world.
