Some of these only apply to particular islands, but it's still good
I AM WEST INDIAN!!!!
IF I AM GOING ON A TRIP I PACK MY GRIP!!! NOT A SUITCASE
I DON'T WEAR PANTS.. I WEAR TROUSERS
I DON'T PHOTOCOPY.... I XEROX!!
I DON'T WALK ON THE SIDEWALK ... I WALK ON PAVEMENT
VIM IS FOR CLEANING
DETTOL IS FOR EVERYTHING
ANGOSTURA TASTE GREAT ON EVERYTHING...
YOU KNOW THAT BAKE IS NOT BAKED!!
YOU KNOW THAT JULIE IS A MANGO. NOT A GIRL!!
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE "SENT FOR THE BELT"
I BELEIVE THAT CHILDREN NEED DISCIPLINE AND IF YUH CALL CHILDREN'S AID YUH
CAN GO WITH THEM
I WALK WITH MY OWN PEPPER SAUCE!!
A BEER IS A CARIB SO IS.... STAG, BANKS, RED STRIPE, GUINESS, ROYAL EXTRA,
BUT THESE ARE ALSO REFRESHMENTS
... TING, CHUBBY, NUTRAMENT, MAUBY, IRISH MOSS, SEA MOSS
SORREL IS A CHRISTMAS DRINK, NOT EGGNOG
I SOAK MY CAKE IN RUM!!
LIME IS SOMETHING YOU DO , NOT SOMETHING YOU EAT!!
WEST INDIAN TOPICS OF DEBATE ARE:
1. RICE AND PEAS OR.. PEAS AND RICE??
2. PELAU OR COOKUP RICE?
3. CURRY CHICKEN OR CHICKEN CURRY?
WHEN I REACH HOME I CHANGE INTO MY HOME CLOTHES
when you get a cut or a boil, you're parents always reach for the soft
candle
I DON'T NEED NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH, I AM A MACO!!!
LICKS IS NOT A RESTAURANT,
EPSON SALTS IS THE UNIVERSAL CLEANING AND HEALING AGENT!!
THE BEACHES OF THE WEST INDIES HAS MAGICAL HEALING POWERS
EVERYONE IS YOUR AUNT, UNCLE OR COUSIN!!
MOTH BALLS ARE EVERYWHERE IN YOUR HOUSE
YOU WASH YOUR WHITE CLOTHES WITH BLUE
The word is not prononunced "Crispy" it's CRIPSY
You know what it means to get or see "Ning Ning"
You do not put "Film" in your camera, but FLIM
SHADOW IS NOT A GHOST .. BUT A JUMBIE OR DUPPY MIGHT BE!!
Despite lack of interest, someone has tried to convince you of the benefits
of taking a purge,
or becoming 'saved' by some religion
No matter how old you are, you call your parents mummy and daddy
You know the meaning of "dahl", "channa", "anchar", "kurma" and

'family'(even if she's not remotely related to you!),doo doo, breds, horse,
partner
You know what a maxi-taxi is
You love soca
You can call your fellow country man by an ethnic name fondly and it would
be okay. eg: darkie, reds, dougs, chinee-man, creole, red-man, white-boy
WHEN YOU GET 98 OUT OF 100 ON A TEST.. YUH PARENTS ASK YOU " WHAT DE ***

SHARK, TULLUM
You wash and re-use plastic and styrofoam cups..to go with the plastic
