Meaning
Food; things to eat — built from 'nyam' (to eat) plus a plural ending, so 'nyammings' is the grub, the eats, whatever there is to be eaten. A casual, slightly playful word: 'weh di nyammings deh?' asks where the food is, and to look for some nyammings is to look for a bite. It belongs to the deep African-rooted 'nyam' family of words for eating, and it names food in an easy, offhand, hungry way, the stuff on the plate or in the pot rather than any fancy dish.
