We have countless cover songs in Jamaica, sometimes referred to as “Sing Ova Chune” my top 5 Jamaican cover artists are in the video, let me know if you agree with my list, or share yours. Jamaican brand @urbanrastaman with the T-shirt and I’m a HUGE supporter of our brands. #jamaica

Ever heard the term “dub plate” used in the Jamaican culture and wasn’t sure what it was? It’s an iconic staple and has been around for years…comment what you think the answer is and don’t cheat. #jamaica

If you’re a@part@of the diaspora living in America, on Thanksgiving are you cooking? And if you are do you cook a turkey, Jamaican it up, or a combination of both? Interested to find out what the rest of you are doing 😄👊🏾🇯🇲 #jamaica #thanksgiving

Daylight Savings Time in the north east in America is a concept I love/hate…when it just happens I love the extra hour sleep and the syncing of the time with Jamaica. Takes me about a week to adjust…don’t go through the adjustment period or you don’t skip a beat? #jamaica #diaspora

I’ve never seen a more unique set of people on the planet, and I’m proud to be a card carrying member. The hurricane coverage from traditional media vs what was really going on makes me smile. Glad that so far no fatalities reported, but no one faces down tough situations like us #jamaica #melissa

There are things that are intimidating to a newly migrated Jamaican, seeing it for the first time. For me it was driving over the Verrazano bridge for the first time with my new drivers license. Did you ever experience anything intimidating in the beginning that seems like nothing now? #jamaica

There are a few items as a Jamaican living overseas that I HAVE to have in the house, one such item is Red Label Wine…reminds me of the multiple wedding cakes my mother used to make for people. What’s a must have for you? (Hopefully one day my book : Jamaican Patois - Andre Cuffe). 🤣. #jamaica

If you could revisit a time when you grew up in Jamaica, what time would you choose…for me it’s primary school. What was it for you? #jamaica

Di first word wah use to wreak havoc pon mi Jamaican brain fi pronounce a did “Connecticut”…couldn’t figure out how dem get “Kinettikit” outta dat. What was the first word you can remember that tripped you up? #jamaica

In continuing in the vein of an inventory of the terms we use, “bad bruk” is usually used in Jamaican for someone with bad behavior or a process that doesn’t work. Are we still using this? Let me know. Learning Jamaican from scratch? Book available on Amazon in all formats. Jamaican Patois - Andre

Funny how we pickup different habits living overseas that we probably wouldn’t if we were still living in Jamaica. For me it’s coffee…use to have it once in a blue moon, but now it’s everyday! What habit have you picked up? #jamaica

How we pronounce Plantain (Plant’n) seems to be a hang up for a lot of people learning the language…this is usually how it’s pronounced, at least in Jamaica. If you want to learn from scratch, book available in all formats on Amazon, Jamaican Patois: Andre Cuffe #jamaica

We have specific references for certain actions in Jamaican…ever heard the phrase “cut your 10”? Comment what you think it means, and Jamaicans let me know if we’re still using it. #jamaica

“Gi laaf fi peas soup!” (Giving laughter for peas soup) is sometimes used to describe people acting the fool to entertain others in Jamaica…are there any Jamaicans that can explain the origin? Curious. #jamaica

One of the most common mistake people learning Jamaican make is saying “nah” in place of “nuh” #jamaica

How can you “deport” a citizen from the country of their citizenship?! Is t that term reserved for foreigners?! The proper term should be “removal”
