Travel Info My mom used tuh reall preach dem tingz in meh ear... Gopaul luck eh Seepaul luck Monkey know which tree tuh climb etc etc... lolz ... Travel Tips meh grandmother favourite was: 1. Long rope for magga goat. Know she storing up yuh cuttail.(Refer to #3) 2. When yuh neighbour house burning, wet down yuh own. (or is that just really good advise?) 3. "Revenge is a dish best served cold" that is something i learnt from meh grandmother when she tell yuh she "storing up yuh cut tail". Nothin, and i mean NOTHING doh hurt yuh more than 6 months later, you getting ah beat down and you cant even remember some ah teh things she beating you about, cause you know she had to remind you bout all the wrong yuh do when she beating. 4. Me eh he god mother. lol 5. Every sour bread have its sour cheese 6. Today for Peter, tomorrow for Paul 7. Peter does pay for Paul, and Paul does pay for all. I just couldnt understand why i always had to be Paul. ah know my mom had one that had something to do with ah money tree in the yard, but i cyar remember how dat does go. lol ah know is not proverbs, but oo lawd, dem is saying that ah sure learn somethings from. Others Well there was always the proverbial question when we was being harden... "What happen to you break stick in yuh ears?? " I never quite understood why that was switched around like that lol When we were even trying to lie Mommy would break out with.... "Now why you feel I buying that two goat in a box story?" As an adult I asked her about that one and she told me that two goats trying to get out of a box is the most confused sight you'll ever see! lol Or when yuh know yuh tail lying and wuss yet yuh know SHE know yuh tail lying and yuh cyah watch she in she face she would say.... "Watch meh in de palm ah meh face when yuh talking tuh meh!" Of course after that yuh know yuh dogs dead. This isn't really a proverb but it was a favorite of my mom's. When yuh out and yuh do something wrong and she say... " Miss, you and I will talk when we reach home." Start tuh cry one time, cause yuh cut tail book!! Of course Mommy had her very own words of warning too eh, such as.... "You go right ahead and keep testing me, when I ram my fist down your throat even your father wouldn't be able to help yuh!" My father is a dental surgeon you see. lol These days when one of de chirren working meh nerves in a new and special way as they tend to do, she does jus sit back, laugh and say.... "Goat doh make sheep." Needless to say that is my very least favorite saying eh! Ok, so in retrospect none of these are proverbs but say wah? ;-) Nice question! Let me see........ what sweet in goat mout does sour in he bam bam what eh meet yuh dos pas yuh eat little and live long all skin teet eh laugh tings tight like crapaud bamsee One han cyar clap Crapaud smoke yuh pipe Mout open, tory jump out Better c o c k crow dan you and still end up in de pelau! My mom's favourite- Ah giving yuh enough rope to hang yuhself. This was a special for my father- "The longest rope have an end" To which he would reply:- " and the longest prayer have AMEN!" i know: 1. When ur sour wet paper could cut ur... means:when something is going wrong everything just goes sour all at once and nothing seems to be going right 2. Doh throw stones and ur have glass door 3. cobeau doh eat sponge cake lol...and i have rel plenty |
