Actually, they are street terms Bahamian youths have adopted from various reggae songs.
they are used everyday, twisted and made to be Bahamian. Actually, most of them are not used by Jamaicans...
Bahamians actually, have perfected them, and created sentences out of phrases.
So technically they are Bahamian urban talks, influenced by reggae music.



...whatever they are, they're hilarious!
