  • In my tribe (Yoruba), this could mean "Mo gbe" or "E gba Mi," which are phrases used to express distress.

  • Always seen it as "oh, my mother" or "come on!"

  • I use it to express - “Oh no!“.

  • We used it as ILY because it looks like the “heart“ we make with our hands over our heads.

  • For me, it just means putting both hands above or behind my head.

  • I use it for “I'm home, safe and cozy.“

  • In Kerala, it is only used to express “Omg, oh no!“ (when something really bad, embarrassing or shocking has happened).
