Rasta-speak..

[julie*mango]

mi notice the jargon has become widespread throughout bald head society...

the other day in JA we were road tripping and got lost so my friend pulls over and asks a man with a big bag of coal on his head for directions...


Instead of: Good day sir. How are you?

He says: King.......bless.....
