Hah hah hah, It must be a regional thing, we heard that a LOT in Ochee too, "Ah Jeez.." heh heh
We never heard anyone say it in Negril this last trip, but we heard that a LOT in Ochee

I think my favorite so far is:
"T'ief neva love fi see t'ief fi long bag"

(A thief hates to see another thief with a full bag)

or

"Wha'gwa'an breddah Russ!"

Re: Jamaica talk?

"Strong Body Ooman" I first thought it meant I was strong enough to carry bushels on my head or that I could lift a car. When I would ask what it meant, anyone I asked, always started their answer with a HUGE smile or chuckle [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] I've heard it every trip since the first one.

and

"Not as yet"

Fatty Boom Boom

Admiring a big woman and telling her they would like to (censored
