Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fan Me Saga Boy (Roaring Lion)
"macadee" Similar Caribbean words (Just to give some idea of the great variety of words) Macca- a thorn Maco- to eavesdrop Macometer- mythical measuring device, inserted in heads of Trinidadians, alows for detection, retention and repetition of other people's business. macajuel syndrome- dazed state of inactivity or sleep brought on by extensive over-eating, after the Trinidad snake that devours small animals whole and lies in the same place for several days after; the politically correct version of the more well-known "niggeritis."
Some other words from the Caribbean- Bazodee (Trinidad)- totally confused; head over heels in love.
Skettle- a slut. Cheap clothes. Toonie- the vagina (in Canada, a two-dollar coin) pumm- the vagina
In the Oxford English Dictionary, quotations with "cunt" from the 14th century; a very old and well-known word. It may not carry our current speech prohibitions in the Caribbean.
