Re: favorite Jamaican words

Miss Portmore, regarding Neutral`s; harnal-pig.
Years ago when pork was an extremely bad thing in Jamaica especially in the late 60`s and early 70`s. Rasta and baldhead would ask for a lb of `dat` or a lb. of arnold or harnal instead of making it be known that is pork they were asking Missa Chin for over de shop counter.
Dem couldn`t write so dem had was to ask.
Yu have any harnal deh?
In those days man wouldn`t stop tease yu if dem find out dat yu was buying dat ting deh.

Blouse and skirt, pants and shirt, blouse-cup and blert nought were expressions used when not using the other well known extreme Jamaica bad wuds to describe and exclaim.
Right HO?
