Get your mind outta the gutter; I’m talking about ice cream. What do you do to ice cream?? I have a hard time picking out the right word from my vocabulary. What do you do to ice cream??
Eat: If you say you’re eating ice cream, something about it doesn’t seem right. Eat?? Does ice cream get chewed between our molar teeth? The thought of it sounds painful. Do we ever need to floss it out? ‘Eat’ just doesn’t sound like what we do to ice cream.
Drink: Now this is even weirder, but people do say they’re drinking ice cream. Unless the ice cream is melted and you’re literally gulping it down from a cup (or bottle), I don’t understand how ice cream can be drunk. Can it? If it can, it kinda defeats the whole purpose of it being ice cream.
Lick: This sounds naughty. When I think of licking ice cream, I imagine sticking my tongue out and licking it off of something…like a plate or a bowl. Or even a spoon. Try as I might, I cannot help but associate the licking of ice cream to naughty stuff. The question is: how many licks does it take to get to the middle of the ice cream?? Ah, naughty, naughty thoughts. The hardcore truth is that cunninglingus has made it difficult to hear “lick” without thinking dirty thoughts. Bad world we live in. But this is about ice cream.
Suck: This is the naughtiest. How do you suck ice cream? People say they’re sucking ice cream, but how is that possible?? I picture a hard ice cream that is on a stick, one that cannot be melted by licking. Only sucking will do. Ever since the invention of fellatio (I have deliberately used this word instead of the O.S. word to avoid further complicated Google Analytics searches), the word “suck” has just not remained the same. Of course, this predicament has also befallen the word, “lick,” but I digress…
So seriously, what do you do with/to ice cream? This is a serious debate that has been going on in my head. Unable to habor anymore of these daunting thoughts, I have decided to bring it to you: the grand jury. If you’re wondering what I do – or say I do – with ice cream, I just say, “I’m having ice cream.”
….That in itself could be interpreted to mean something else. People can have other people. The alternative is that I’m just overthinking this ice cream consumption terminology too much. Perhaps, I should just eat, drink, lick, suck, have, and shut up.
Your thoughts?
FIRSTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
lol:
OK, so u can
1. DRINK melted icecream
2. LICK ice cream off a cone
3. SLURP ice cream….or just HAVE ice cream
lmao!
Yup to bumight. You could also say you’re consuming ice cream LOL. It sounds funny though.
oh lord, here she goes again. Can u ever bring simple stuff for people to think about? I’ll stick with I’m having ice cream. It sounds the least naughty 😉 Plus it’s politically correct.
I wonder how many crazy thots go thru ur head, woman.
lol…this is a very serious concern! I think you are right, I sometimes HAVE ice cream sounds right!…But the same problem relates to oranges! SUCK, DRINK, EAT OR LICK??
x!
Bumight: How do you slurp ice cream? Hmmm. And why would someone drink melted ice cream? If it’s melted, it’s no longer ice cream abi? It’s more like milk now. You’re right sha about licking ice cream off a cone. I didn’t think of that.
Saturn Moonie: lol @ consuming ice cream. That sounds soooooooooo weird. If I say that, I’m pretty sure people will say, “Vera, why are you talking like that?” lol
Neffie: I don’t like this thing you’re saying ooo! what is wrong with what I just blogged about ehn? Dis thing might be life-saving ooo! Na so I go just win Pulitzer prize and you’ll be wishing you didn’t make fun of me. lol. Yea, come to think of it sef, “eat” sounds naughty too. Nawa ooo.
il go wth lick n eat.u can also do both 2 pus….
I dont know for the rest of you but I Afrobabe licks Icecream…I lick it so well that if you didnt have bad thoughts before you will certainly have them when you watch me lick the shit outta that ice cream…
Don’t have the same problems with oranges cos I hardly suck hem, would rather peel them and chew…
But Miss Vera pray tell us what has brought this errrrmmm licking and sucking tots into ur mind…I doubt it was ice cream…hmmmmm I am still waiting for gist oh…
Veraaaa, ok i suppport Support saturnmoonie. Consume! ROFL
have is really the word.
but what really brought about this post?
Erm…. R u sure Google is not picking up your “eat, drink, lick, suck” posts and cross referencing them to the O.S sites, thus bring som eof their traffic to you?????
Anyways, I quit taking ice cream when i turned 60.. which was a couple of decades ago by the way…lol

I think eating ice cream applies here same as with custard or akamu or Fura da nono. We don’t drink akamu though some of the really watery kind would suggest the need for a cup and or straw.
I think the most common ways are eating and licking ice-cream. Depending if you are eating out of the cartoon/plate/cup/bowl/cone or licking off a stick, or perhaps, your lover 🙂 Sorry…I had to be a little naughty too. But you raised a good point. Got me thinking too.
Vera what shall I do with you? I don’t care as long as the ice cream is going down the throat.
Hagen Daz Baileys ice cream is the best.
Hmmm when I saw the heading of this post, I thought hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….Friday I had B&J's choc chip cookie dough…yummy…I lick my ice-lollies like mad..lick the from top to bottom, all around, just the tip some times, let the juices drip a bit, i take my time enjoying it too…oooooh boy oh boy do i love sucking!!!!LOL!!!
Favored Girl: Any time, girl! What are friends for (but to make you crave fatty foods)? lol. I'm here for you honey. Any time! lol
Buttercup: Lick & suck ey? Hmmmph. I like eat better oh. lol. This licking & sucking thing is just dangerous. But e go better sha…
Temite: I would (go and eat my ice cream) but I don't have any right now. I've just been thinking about it, that's all. Hmmmmmm. Cold Stone is calling my name, but I don't feel like driving. I will wait till I can wait no more.
Pearl Creations: Thanx. Will check it out.
Dabizniz: You're right (about custard, fura de nono, and akamu). That's another one I've thought about more than a few times. So basically, what it boils down to is that English is hard. lol @ using a straw for the akamu. Hehehe.
Folake: It's okay to be naughty jo. I do love the idea of licking it off a lover. Oh, the things I shall do with my hubby. From the way things are looking, we might not even have plates in the house sef. Hehehe.
Luscious Ron: Do with me whatever you wish. I'd prefer you buy me ice cream & perfumes, but hey, that's just my thought. lol.
Shona Vixen: I'm awefully convinced that you and I are NOT on the same page. I'm talking about ice cream here, and you're talking about God-knows-what. No dey spoil me ooo! LOL. Hehehehehe. Goodness, Blogville habors the baddest people
im craving ice cream
Thanks for the birthday wishes Vera!
I blame you for making me relapse and go get ice cream! I’ve always been torn between eating ice cream and licking ice cream. I was told it’s eating, so I’ve been eating ice cream for a while now.
Drinking and sucking ice cream? Those just don’t sound right!
I think I’ll go with having ice cream from now on, makes so much sense.
i feel like ice cream
Na wa o! I wonder how ‘suck’ entered the equation – all other terms apply, though ‘eat’ seems to be most appropriate.
But, please o, why can’t we just be typical Naija’s and say we are ‘taking’ icecream.LMHO!
That woulda worked just fine, if not for some dirty-minded fellas!
I’m talking about ice-cream now!!Nothing else…we are on the same page Vera!!
Now you’re trying to confuse me!
I always thought we ‘licked’ ice cream in naija but I won’t be able to anymore! lol!
So ‘having ice cream’ it is then!
I also have this issue with pap, custard and garri.
I wonder what the right verb(or is it adjective now???) should be???? Hmmmmm
i stick with lick
dictionary says eat
i stick with lick
You eat ice cream. Or so I have been told. Who cares, it ends up in your tummy. And if you are mildly lactose intolerant like me and Vera, in the toilet bowl, eventually. yeah, yeah….i know, gross.
lick, lick, lick it like a lolipop…. shawty wanna ******
Vera, you are so weirddddddd.. who cares?
For me sha, i Consume icecream.
Jaguda: You and I both. I actually had one little one for breakfast this morning. *Vera bows head in shame*
Simple Gal: So it’s my fault ehn? lol. Take responsibility for your actions ooo. All I did was blog about ice cream. Whatever anyone did after reading said blog is not of my own making. Sebi you grab? Hehehehe.
Chief: Something is really wrong with you. U feel like ice cream? Oya, ice cream now!
Vivacious n Chic: Hahahaha. Yeah, that’s definitely some typical Naija English. Taking ice cream ke?? Hehehehe. Na 4 where you dey take am?
Shona Vixen: Lai lai. I don’t believe a word of what you have said. Same page indeed! Look, stop spoiling me 4 my mother oooo! I don’t like it.
EnKay: LOL. It’s my pleasure to confuse you. What else am I here for? Hehehe. Stop licking and start having.
FluffyCuteThing: Definitely a verb. Most people seem to agree with “eat” is the right word, so I guess I’ll try and start saying I’m eating ice cream. But what about pap? Am I also eating pap? lol.
Ibiluv: You you’re just a naughty girl. Lick ice cream ko. lol. I don’t even wanna imagine the things coming 2 my head right now.
Rosie: LOL. I hear that! In the toilet – eventually. But ice cream is soooooo good!! How can one stay away from ice cream? No amount of lactose intolerance will make me keep away. I must HAVE ice cream
Funmie: Don’t be coming on my blog and saying any nonsense about licking stuff like lolipops. Ah ah. Wetin dey do you sef?? lol @ consuming ice cream. Goodluck with that.
lol! Verastical, you rascal.
I’m just simply confused vera, confused.

Vera, put down the Ice cream and come check this out.
lol…naughty naughty
I think it depends on the type of icecream you´re having, whether you chew , lick suck or whatever
I just have ice-cream.
Thinking of the proper word is just gonna complicate my ice-cream consumption.
LOL…………I’ve always thought about that phrase eating ice cream.
I love to INDULGE in some Icecream……..* I shouldn’t but I just can’t help it!
After reading this post, on monday morning, I was confused as to what to do with the bowl of creamy ice cream I was given.
In the end, I surrendered to it…
Funny this thing has been on my mind for a while ‘cos I was once corrected when I said “lick” icecream. The gentleman who took the liberty of correcting me said I was to say “eat”…after that I always said “have”…hehehe
lmao @ shona…yeah girl….I lick the tip of the ice cream too…very yummy, seems to be concentrated sweetness there….
Yes Vera…I ce cream
SolomonSydelle: LOL. Wetin I do? I’m just bringing up a genuinely “problematic problem” to the attention of the wonderful folks.
Life of a Stranger: LOL. Now you see how I feel! That’s why I had to blog about it na…
Anonymous: Thanx 4 the link. Will check it out sharpish.
Naija Bloggers Awards: I don sheck am out. I don dey compose my acceptance speech ooo. Ah ah. Why not, if not? LOL. Good job.
Joicee: I guess so. But eat, lick, and suck just don’t seem to fit ice cream – not to mention they’re so naughty! LOL
OluwaDee: lol. But what if someone calls you and asks you what you’re doing? I guess you could say you’re consuming ice cream. Hahaha. Or maybe digesting??? Hahaha.
Sirius: Well, that’s another way of looking @ it. lol. I’ve learnt some interesting things from all of you oh. I will now indulge in ice cream too. Awesome.
Rita: Hahahahahaha. You surrendered ehn? I’m glad my posts affect you so much. LOL! That is too funny. One could also “succumb” to the ice cream. Abi wetin else? lol.
Doug: Thank you oh, brother Doug. lol. You said ‘lick’? Hehehe. That sounds so naughty. I always say ‘have’ too. It’s the only one that sounds okay jare.
Afrobabe: You and Shona are baaaaad chics! Una don spoil kpata kpata. Concentrated sweetness @ the tip ehn? LOL.
Ok. I want to swallow ice cream…….lol
