>>11734087Omg...i...i...i have no words.
I thought it was a joke.
BBC Pidgin news. Holy shitsky!
I have a verrry long history with Jamaica, where labrish, a.k.a. patois, is a part of the daily venacular of a majority of people. However, the Jamaicans would find it insulting if the "The Gleaner" or "The Observer" stooped to corrupt the King's English. They are a well-educated and proud former British Colony, who still retain a high bit of protocol in their dealings.
While it is true that you might occasionally find a popular columnist write a piece in labrish, without any doubt it will be a humorous story of some beloved village person or hero, affectionately written to do his unique form of wisdom justice in his own way of speaking.
>I'll have to bookmark that; it might be good for an occasional laugh. >>11734079>>11734082Oh, my my my my...I am almost on the floor laughing, while I can hardly see for the tears in my eyes.
On an other note, from kindergarten through high school, my son's best friend was Felix, whose parents are from Ghana.
His mom is this little thing, who I believe is a queen back home. She drove this old Rolls-Royce Bentley, early 60's, maybe.
Anyway, Felix always preferred to sleep on the couch when he stayed over., actually pretty much sitting up. But that was not the fun part of this story.
He was so black, that you *almost* couldn't see him in a darkened room. I say "almost", because one of his eyes stayed open as he slept.
Meaning, when you passed by or walked into the room, you were greeted by a huge, somewhat, yellow, EYEBALL.
They were close until late high school, when he aspired to go into diplomatic service. I think he works for the UN now.
I wonder what he'd say if he saw a BBC Pidgin Edition.
Okay....enough of this. Next!!
