Let's see


Dawg nevah bite me.
Mi buck mi toe but mi nevah buck out mi toe nail...just broke the toe.
Mi nevah drop outta tree
Nobody evah fling stone n buss mi head but I have been pelted with elastics and paper.
I have never dropped off van but I have ridden on back of truck
Macka/bruk backle...bag wire - don't know what they re so mi noh know if dem evah juk me
Mad man nevah run mi dung
Cow nevah buck mi
Yes mi did use out 'ouse
Mi nevap play marble mi non know what stucky is - smaddy explain, ditto for purple touch
I have played jacks, hiden and seek, hops scotch, and ring game
I have never carried wata pon mi head but every generation befor eme did.
Ditto for looking wood
Mi nevah bade inna rain
Nope nevah used to wear tear out batty pants
Big gil? Translation please.
Nope nevah bougth half stic a butter or have read.


But den mi nevah grow a Jamaica.

Stucky is like tag, catch or whatever you call it with varying rules one of which is that if you bend down then you can't be tagged.
If you join purple touch and I catch you without your fingers crossed then I can touch purple touch you on any purple place I choose.

Check wid u cousin.....

but a gil is a imperial measure.... Shop keeps sold oil by quart or pint and never liked to split the pints...u could get a pint of oil

4 quarts i gallon
2 pints one quart
4 gils one pint..

I believe that was on the tables on the exercise books backs...

A standard shot in a pub is 1/6 gil in england and 1/4 in scotland

[Tropicana]

I'll take your word on this one too.
