Btw..whn u ‘SUCK YUH TEETH” , why is it considered to be rude??
We couldnt do that in our home growing up..if not we would have gotten 2 slaps ..
I have this vague idea inmy head that “sucking yr teeth “ is saying ‘kiss my a$$”

I notice this is prevalent in Nollywood movies. Perhaps Indo-Guyanese copied this from their African-Guyanese. When we were in St. Martin visiting the market and walked away after enquiring about prices and didn't patronize the vendors.... we got some long "suck teeth".

I told one of them... yuh rass can kiss meh ass not on the right, not on the leff, but right in de middle. Dem prappa rude eh.
