Just because one part of the island uses a term doesn’t mean every part gonna know. It’s not common knowledge and that’s okay. Let’s just educate each other and keep the culture alive instead of shaming people for not knowing everything 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

hate to say it but kingston has its own lingo much like every other parish does . most of us don't know WTF that means. much like how yall think everywhere else is country and anything we say is country man talk. so kingstonians have their in group sayings and then further uptown have theirs. its always been a thing we are not universal.

Every Jamaican knows what all regular phrases mean, anyone saying that is pretending to be from uptown. Signed an uptown girl.
