 |  UncleTisha's Blackboard Hello Villagers! This blackboard is for all villagers to drop all words encountered in the square. We know there are lots of intellectuals, students and quasi-students around. We are only interested in "uncommon" words. If you have encountered any word in the square you do not understand or have no clue about, please drop it here. We will research into the word and get back to you. Don't worry, we won't laugh at you. Just post nichodemously (anonymously!) .................................................. .................................................. ............................ Our first word is - B O M B O C L A T - Used by MsWoman here MEANING: A Jamaican expression meant to convey shock or surprise "I won $50,000 in the lotto!" "BOMBOCLAT!" |

| Re: UncleTisha's Blackboard Hi, folks! Contextually, "bomboclat", and/or "blood clot", or/and "raaaasclot" are to the Jamaican, what "dan bura ubanka", or "dan bur'uba", or/and "shege" are to the Nigerian, or what "Shyt-a-brick" is to the Briton, or what plain "****in' hell" is to most English-speaking earthlings worldwide: a rather harmless exclamation with undertones of resignation to the almost phantom-like manifestation of unintended or unexpected outcomes; an exclamation in utter exasperation! Muchas gracias. Don Juan-Carlos ABRAXAS (III) |
