Double date vs. Two-time

-

We often use the word double date to mean when a man cheats on his wife by having an affair with another woman, which is incorrect in terms of meaning. 


The appropriate word for that meaning is two-time. 


According to Cambridge Dictionary, two-time means to deceive someone you are having a relationship with by having a secret sexual relationship with someone else at the same time.


For example: ended the relationship when I found out he was two-timing me.

As a current NYSC corp member who got inaugurated recently, I examined the lyrics of the NYSC Anthem. The line that caught my attention was the third line in the first verse: "Under the sun or in the rain." 📌 The phrase "under the sun" should be corrected to "in the sun." "Under the sun" is an idiom meaning "on earth" or "in existence," used to emphasize a large number of something. This meaning does not correlate with the context of the anthem.  For example: 1.

There is nothing new under the sun. 📌 On the other hand, "in the sun" refers to being exposed to sunlight or being outdoors in sunny weather, which fits the context of the anthem. For example: 1. They spent the afternoon relaxing in the sun at the park. 2. The flowers thrive in the sun, blooming beautifully. 📌 Secondly, in the last stanza, the first line "Far and near" should be correcte...
