Avoid Saying “I Flashed Her” Abroad: Essential Tip for Nigerians

Travelling to the UK, US, Canada or Australia? Don’t use the phrase “I flashed her” or “I flashed him.” In Nigeria, it simply means you gave a quick call and hung up. But in many English-speaking countries it implies indecent exposure—a serious crime. Instead, say “I gave her a missed call” or “I gave him a quick ring.” Using the right expression can keep you out of legal trouble.
