I am not a Jamaican (my wife is and I have visited the island 11 times), but I have chosen to add some phrases from my island (St. Thomas Virgin Islands) and my island roots (Nevis and St. Kitts). "Too much friend mek crab nuh hab nuh head" "Time so hard darg an arl a look wuk" "Short cut draw long blood." "You black like half past midnight!" "You foot look like (Jamaicans say "favar")two garleen in de lake." "Fart free lest it be de death of thee." "uh...uhm...you ugly sah"! "A betta box you into last week!" "Ah who poop? Ah you poop? Next time you war'n poop, find you backside outside!" "If ah laugh ah lay." (If I laugh too loud I might s_ _ _ myself). "It's pure kick and box that young girl eat for diner." (an abused young wife next door to us) "You so ugly even ugliness no war'n kip you company." "What you pleasure ina you youth, you might regret ina you old age." Garlin seh trus no shadow.
