You should specify Trini people, since the dialects and patois of different islands have different words, and the same word can mean different things


for example, you say Bulla in Jamaica you talking about a cake...but in Trinidad a Bulla man is a homosexual lol

Saucy Trini - God Bless you

SKBai1991 - this post is for all islands , not just Trini's
