I hope you guys have been doing your lessons from our last session! Because an examination is on de horizon! Haha! So prepare thyselfs from henceforth!
Let’s goooooooooo!!!!
(Expressions/Meaning)
1. Buh wait nah! – Wait a minute.
2. Cheups (Steups)- A noise made by sucking your teeth. (we do that often here when we’re annoyed, angry or just maybe bored lol 😀 )
3. Chupid (not cupid ok lol!) pronounced as ch as in chicken and pid as in P diddy HAHA!
E.g. Yuh chupid!- You stupid!
4. Chupidee- (Ch-pid-dee) A foolish person.
5. Da is you?- Is that you?
6. Dat good fuh yuh!-That serves you right!
7. Dotish- (Dough-tish) Silly, stupid, foolish.
8. Dougla- (Dough-gla) A mixture of East Indian and African parentage. (most of our citizens here on de islands are mixed! Like my family for instance 🙂 my great grand-mommy was a Carib.
That’s not my deceased granny of course LOL!
Anyway enough about me and let’s get back to the teachings!
9. Eh? (Ear)– What did you say?
10. Ent as in (entertainment) see! How easy is that to say? LOL! Anyway this expression means:- Is that so?/That’s true isn’t it?
