nah .. wannabe americans if they just copying rap songs .. wannabe jamaicans if they copying reggae songs. Id say the latter, but either way its not Bahamian, its called lack of imagination.

nah, its call incorporating...
It became apart of our culture by definition when a large number of persons started using it in their everyday life...
I know people who speaks like that...
its a ghetto slang...its not a Bahamian slang...its a fish fry talk, when you sparing with words...its another form of rap actually.

you jus getting old dred!
ya does here dis type of wybe on the bus, when ya about to slide off, seen...

hmmmm, fish fry rap :D

mussee the new generation of bahamian yout .. they listen to too much reggae again .. mussee that BET thing :shaky:

seriously though when we grew up with Reggae and Gansta Rap we didnt copy them ... made up our own shiiitz.. anyway the whole gangsta and reggae thing is soo old school now .. time for some new tings to make dem go crazy up in the place. .

Well, then, that would make Bahamians wanna-be Jamaicans, cuz I hear it every day.

The truth in this statement cannot be denied.

When all dey listen to is reggae, that's how we get this mixed up result.

What would da Jamaicans say? Fe real tho

( :D even I say that sometimes, but at least I know where it comes from!)

Goes to find out ha in de hell dis get in Sports & culture. Or are yinna sayin dis we culture? :dgi:

7) Can I have a word with you sir? = “look forward soulja”
8) I’ll be right back. = “ I commin rite forward”
9) I’ll see you later. = “we ga link”
10) Do you have a problem? = “di dem gat a wibe aye?”


These some solid ones. It is so true. I was in Philly about 2 weeks ago, and met some *****s dem who were young when I left SAC in ('97), and these fellas still be talking like this for real. I remember a few of us started talking like this in the mid '90s trying to be funny, but it has really stuck. Again, funny stuff.
Nassau mash up when I come forward for Christmas...STILLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!. Yes-I
