That is exactly what it is,the kids have managed to mix patwah with the english,and it`s really funny to listen to them sometimes,jamaican patwah forms most of the current street slangs and cool words.

Well to be fair, some parts of the UK doesnt understand other parts when they speak,..I was in liverpool this week and some guy asked me in the supermarket if I knew where the hot dog buns were,and I had to ask him 3 times before he explained very slowly that he was ...&quot;looking-for-buns-for-hotdogs&quot;.

not familiar with the last one MGee </div></div>

&quot;burning platform&quot; is corporate speak for the dire conditions that will make people accept change quickly. Like, the burning platform is loss of sales due to outdted equipment, we have to do something now. </div></div>


That is OBAMA'S stance. Tek di economic chrysus han push thru as much as yuh can b4 di dem peeps wake up.
Ram Emanual seh doan waste a crisis

to what i understand about burning platform, it doesn't involve sneaking anything by anyone. everybody has to recognize that the platform is burning before effective change results.
