Trinidadian Idiosyncracies |
Trinidadians are a unique breed of people who can be spotted a mile off. They can be identified by their body language, speech, decorum, taste, and even their judgment of time and space. They are very defensive when mistaken for any islander other than a Trini.
A Trini's choice of words to describe a breadfruit falling from a tree, willfully describe the state of the ripeness of the fruit, and where it fell. A ripe fruit falling to the ground will fall BLAF, whereas a ripe fruit falling on a galvanized roof will fall BLANG. A green fruit on the other hand will fall to the ground BUDUFF, and that same fruit falling on the same roof will fall BLANG-A-DANG.
A door will open if its hinges need oiling KREEKES and will close BADAM or CLIT-TICKS depending on the force used to close it.
