    I thought it could be used to refer to someone who eats any food, no? Or greedy? Testing my memory from early 90s when I worked with a Jamaican from Kingston.

    Gotcha.. Times change and so can meanings, especially in that many years.

    I even googled it and found this before posting: http://www.thedialectdictionary.com/...Jamaican/1573/

    Thanks for the warning.

    ~Just my two cents worth - I mostly only comment on places I've seen and or eaten at personally.

    Maybe it's generational, I don't know?
    In dancehall music it definitely means something else.
