All yuh ah cyar keep up wit de words for de day ting. Ah have tuh change
dat to a words for de week instead.
Trini words for the WEEK:
SCRUNTIN' - Penniless, BROKES.
FREECO - A free event.
As impoverished struggling students, I know this is usually
our first question when going somewhere.
eg.
T&T) IS AH FREECO FETE OR WHAT? NO, DEN WHAT IS DE DAMAGE?
QE) Is there a cover charge for the party? No, well then how much?
T&T) YUH LIE! I BROKES, I EH GOIN' UNLESS YUH GOIN' AND SPONSOR MEH!
QE) I don't believe I can afford that; unless you can pay for me.
VEX MONEY - Pocket money in case you have an argument with your partner;
so you can afford alternate public transport home.
CRAPAUD-FOOT WRITIN' - Very bad handwriting.
YAMPEE - Mucus, found in the corner of the eyes after a sleep.
WHEN PUSH COME TO SHOVE - When the going gets rough
COWBOY - A quick bath using little water. Based on the premise
that cowboys hardly bathed and did so sparingly.
To "sponge" off.
Ah know some of you all take this while running late for a class.
Ah hope yuh doh still be VAMPIN'(smelly)!
AH GONE!
John S.
100% Trini
