JAMAICAN NICKNAMES: THE UNCENSORED EDITION
Jamaicans have developed unique nicknames for each other; like Munchie for women & Peas Head for men but we don't just stop there do we? No! Nothing is off-limits to us. We go much further & saddle each other with some names that we wouldn't dare repeat in church. Here are just a few of the off colour nicknames that are quite common actually.
How does one earn a name like NYAM SAAL??
In ancient times, before Dexta Daps was a sex god and before Ishawna said it was ok to deal wid har
like a bag juice, oral sex was a dirty phrase.
So how on earth would a grown man allow his friends to stick a name like that on him? If he even did it, how would his friends find out? I'd pay good money to get to the bottom of a mystery like that!
The next name that puzzles me is PUSSY BULLY!!
Would you let your friends call you that? In public?? How would you have to behave to earn a title like that? Sure, there are endless dancehall songs from both men and women worshipping these masters of the bedroom but in real life that is a name that real Jamaican men are walking around with this very day! Only in Jamaica, I think!
Then there is the female version: COCKY BULLY!!
Now that can't be far from my personal favourite: BUDDIE BRUCKA!! I say my favourite but I would be scared as hell to take on a woman like that! While it sounds potentially earth-shattering, it could also end up in the emergency room! Shame! Embarrassment! I couldn't show my face in public again!
I know Jamaicans who proudly bear these names. Would you?
