      It's like a slang for someone that is courageous in an arrogant way. Just someone with an effrontery to do certain things. "Thick guts"

      Tell the Americans the KOOPUN bit and they will almost kill you. So annoying. In England the pronunciation has always been Koo - pawns. A lot of my Netherlands and German friends say AIRON. Language interference.

    Chutzpah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutzpah
    Chutzpah (/ˈhʊtspə/ or /ˈxʊtspə/) is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. The Yiddish word derives from the Hebrew word ḥutspâ (חֻצְפָּה), meaning "insolence", "cheek" or "audacity".

  76. yesisaidit28 December 2015 at 16:25

    Personally I think Nigerians have the worse pronunciations on the planet. It shocks me that you were actually colonised by British. Even the most educated has a horrible pronunciation, no wonder everyone tries to fake it to make it. I mean how in the hell do you say POOR SHOE as in pursue. It is absolutely ridiculous -

    Ghanaians and South Africans have the best English accent in all of Africa (the educated ones of course). You actually hear everything clearly.

    ps : and by the way it is Lend me, not Borrow me and it is the Day after tomorrow, NOT next tomorrow - Its SUV - not every freaking car is a JEEP.
