    she:::>> beggin' for this & that

    first she wanted Ja$500

    * sigh *

    mi-SAY::>> "..Don't have it.... I'm waiting for my money to come to WesternUnion.."

    then,
    she ask did i bring any gifts, etc from-foreign for her and others

    mi-SAY:::>> "..Yep..!!.... sure did .... BUT, Jamaican Customs-folks took it all .... they said what i brought, had in my bags, was contraband, and not allowed..."

    she said something(s) in Patois, kinda like "..Bumba-something,,,, and me being '..mean..' ,,, me not being easy (whatever that means)

    that Jamaican language is difficult to unna-stan most times, for me
    ...i tell 'em ALL the time:::>> "..I don't speak Patois,,, so i don't unna-stan nutin' you saying to me.."


    [[[ to be continued ,, in a few minutes ]]]
    Maybe I misunderstand, but any time I hear "Bumba" something... Bumb***** is the word I think... I believe they are being nasty and offensive and they think you don't understand. I've had it said to me with a smile, knowing what it actually means, I just don't interact / do business with those people... I've been tempted to say, "I know what that is", but figure I'm on vacation and it's not worth the hassle.
