A person finding themselves with inadequate prepaid time to make a call will ring up the intended recipient of the call and hang up immediately. The receiver of the call, hearing the phone ring once and seeing the number, understands themselves to have been beeped.

Terms for education and training In the worlds of business and development, the word "facilitation" or the expression "to facilitate someone" have fundamentally different meanings in Uganda from those in Europe or the US.

Terms for food and farming Drinking a beverage is often described as taking a beverage. A pop is a soda. All tea is also called chai. French fries in Uganda are called chips, as in British English. Macrons means spaghetti, which is generally fried
