Isymbols
Are imaginary symbols, imagery, and abstract characters which the mind creates and uses (as code) to represent properties of nature, event, situations, physical objects, problems, processes or any phenomenon when we are thinking (or in our thinking process), whether the phenomenon exists or not, physically visible or not.
When the brain is processing information it is in the state of abstract called mind, and the process is called thinking. The mind is the abstract component of the brain. In the mechanism of thinking, we use abstract characters and symbols, images and imagery to represent a phenomenon, situation, information, concept, subject or the thing we are thinking of in the mind before we start processing and think about it. Whether the phenomenon is physically present to our sight or not, it exists or not, the mind needs these imaginary characters, imagery and abstract symbols to depict the phenomenon when we are thinking. When the phenomenon is physically visible to our sight we cannot take the physical (concrete) form into our mind when we want to think about it. But rather the mind needs to use imagery, imaginary symbols or abstract characters which best depict the physical nature of the phenomenon in its actuality in our mind when we’re thinking about the phenomenon.Instances whereby the phenomenon is not physically visible to our sight or non-existence in this world, we have to ingeniously form imagery, symbols and characters which are imaginary to depict (represent) the phenomenon in our mind before, during and after thinking. When we are thinking or reasoning we don’t use physical objects in our mind but we use these imaginary elements (abstract symbols) to represent the subject under consideration in the process. The human mind is comfort in using these imaginary elements or abstract symbols in thinking (or reasoning). So what name (word) is given to abstract things the mind uses in thinking about a phenomenon which is physical to our sight or non-existence? These imaginary elements and abstract symbols are called Isymbols.
The mind can only read, manipulate and handle physical objects, problems, situations, processes, properties of nature by using isymbols. Have we thought of how inventor and creators of things in this world create things we see around us? Some of these things were non-existent but through thinking they used isymbols to depict the actual perception in its clarity and accuracy before materialized. The mind uses isymbols to imagine anything which exists or not, visible or not when we are thinking. [Isymbols (noun)].

Kumerica and Kumerican
Kumerica [noun] is an internet slang (sensational social media word) for the city of Greater Kumasi in Asanti Region of Ghana. The word Kumerica was coined from a blend (portmanteau) of Kumasi and America (Ku + merica) by the young people of Kumasi (Oseikrom or The Garden City of West Africa) who live their lifestyle full of luxuries, bling-blings and display of jewels, gold chains (ostentatious jewellery) drive expensive cars, show royalty and riches like the Black Americans. Originally, their main purpose was to showcase their riches and luxurious lifestyle, to tell the world that they live in Kumasi but their lifestyles are like the Americans; and this includes how they speak American English (especially American slangs, tonations and accent), how they dress, and wear luxury clothes, shoes and use cars. So the term (Kumerica or Kumerican, whether the City [Kumasi] or a person in/born in Kumasi) is basically means living a bling lifestyle like the Black Americans (African-Americans).
This word (Kumerica or Kumerican) was coined and popped up on the social media mid this year (2020). Kumerican [noun] is anyone born in the city of Greater Kumasi (Kumerica) and/or lives in Kumasi (Kumerica) and has a lifestyle full of luxuries, bling-blings and display of ostentatious jewellery, gold chains, nice cars, royalty and riches like the Black Americans. The word Kumerican was coined from a blend (portmanteau) of Kumasi and American (Ku + merican). This means if you’re born in Kumerica you are called Kumerican or if you live in Kumerica you are called Kumerican. As at the time of writing this piece of article, the word Kumerica or Kumerican is the most trending used word in Ghana, and globally recognized by the Ghanaian diaspora. As of now the word Kumerican is someone who lives in and/or born in Kumasi (Kumerica), and it doesn’t matter whether the person dresses and behaves like a Black American or lives in luxurious lifestyle with bling-bling.The up-coming artistes and musicians in Kumerica have popularized the words (Kumerica and Kumerican) in their songs and music to reflect their identity as Kumericans and Asantes at large. Apart from the fact that the term Kumerica is used to mean the city of Kumasi, it is now also associated with the hiphop kind of music in Kumasi. It seems to have created another genre of Ghanaian hiphop (hiplife) which is typically associated with the Asantes, and Kumasi in particular. And it shows their identity. One of the most popular Kumerican hiphop that is/was a dope and banga is the AKatafou by Kawabanga-(feat.O’Kenneth,Reggie & Jay Bahd). This dope song AKatafou popularized Kumericans and Kumerica on the social media from the mid 2020. Click to Watch the Official Video AKATAFOU
The Kumericans now claim that Kumerica is no more a city (or not only a city) but also a country within a country. They believe that Kumerica is a country with its towns and suburbs now turning into states and cities therefore making Kumerica a country. Again, Kumeicans believe their Region, the Asanti Region, is now called the United States of Asantes, (USA) therefore making Asanti Region also a country within the country Ghana. So Kumerica is a country within the country the United States of Asantes (USA) and also the country Ghana.
Examples
