Original (Jamaican) Dancehall Dictionary: Talk like a Jamaican

Original (Jamaican) Dancehall Dictionary: Talk like a Jamaican (Original Dancehall Dictionary which is an explanation of the ever evolving Jamaican language. Book 6)

Everyone wants to talk like a Jamaican as the language is colorful and extremely expressive and the people are acclaimed worldwide for being fun-loving and warm.

The Original Dancehall Dictionary" is a hilarious and educational book with cartoons to enable you to easily understand the popular Jamaican parlance and most importantly, the words and phrases supplied help you to translate the lyrics in internationally acclaimed reggae and dancehall songs. For example, did you know that Bus Out means to become famous? Or that an Anaconda is a very large penis? Did you know that an extremely greedy person is described as being Nyammi Nyammi? One's friends are called Mi Pree but the enemy, Back an Belly Rat. Most importantly, did you know that when an artist is performing poorly on stage the crowd yells Pack up an Park which means Boo but when he is great you Big Im Up? When you visit the beautiful island of Jamaica which is full of the most extraordinary natural attractions, you want to be able to communicate properly to enjoy all. So for example, now that marijuana is decriminalized, if that is your thing, you need to know the difference between a Bob Marley and a Ziggy and why they have been so named. Also, if you are a woman, when a Jamaican man says Mi a Pree Yu, please do not be offended as it simply means he is admiring you! And if he says "Beg yu a struggle pan di bady nuh", it only means may I have this dance please?

Even President Obama was so impressed by our language that on a recent visit he gained the instant love and adoration of the people by greeting the crowds using their own language, so why shouldn't you?

Anyway you cannot be a lover of the Jamaican people like the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, the lovable Bob Marley and Shaggy or Reggae and Dancehall music and not own a copy of the Original Dancehall Dictionary. So get the paperback edition or keep it on you at all times wherever you go by downloading the Kindle edition today.
