Flash

Flash is a Ghanian word that has been adopted into our daily family communication. This is a word that the twins have brought to our family since they have arrived. They say it is a word in their known language, Ghan.

It can be used by adding an "ing" to the ending to make the word "Flashing".
It can also be used in a pasted tense by adding "ed" to make the word "Flashed".
It can be used as a present word, like in the question, "Did you flash?".
It is an action word done only by mammals.

The word "flash" has brought comfort to the girls and they now feel comfortable in using it daily with us. Actually, I should say that every family member uses the word comfortably.


Our family has so much fun using this word, we feel like true Ghanians when it comes out our lips. This word "flash" brings laughter out in us all the time! :)


Here is a question for you. . . . Have you flashed today?

Sitting back with smiles of laugher!

Have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!!! I didn't want to comment first and make a fool of myself, but here goes anyway.

Is flashing smiling? Or getting naked?

Yeah, you've gotta tell us what flashing means, because I think I'd like to freak some people out here in Ol' Indiana!
