Belly a bile probably means hungry or feel a fart brewin.

I was constantly being told, "bai I gon tend to yo memory" but somehow I never got tended.

Very good!!

1st time i heard ‘mi heart a flatta’ I was a lil kid n my mom came home n looked like she was going to feint..literally shaking.  She sat down on the steps n asked for a cup of tea..n said ‘o laad..me heart a flatta’..apparently she had witnessed an accident, where a person died or almost died.

so she meant a ‘nervous heart’ i think..’racing’heart, anxiety attack??

Whn i hear the word, i also think of a chicken after u cutoff d neck..it flatta till he dead..lol ( my dad used to kill fowl for us..he used to step on the wings..pull a few feathers from the part of neck to be cut..i had to bring lil water whoch my dad fed to fowl before he cut the neck. He didnt cut off the entire neck..just half way n left thebird to bleed over a bucket ..so d chicken used to flatta until its life went out!

Guess it can refer to whn u see a nice chick/guy as well

kalbalai i think meant anxiety/ being worried,  that gives u a nervous tummy..

or maybe u see food n yuh hungry n longing for that food..im not sure which of the above..maybe both??

Doe-doe — or dodo —mostly used for kids  .. sleep

kaka.. defecate

Run-mouth or news carrier .. snitch

leh-leh — mouth water / saliva

U remember mercuricomb *sp plaster?

or ‘ hing’

Omg I had a hard boil on my right index finger right where the hair would’ve grown. I believe I was 8 or so because I was still an only child. My ‘nana wife’ ( this is what I used to call my step Nani 😃) tied a poultice on it when it was ‘ripe’ and then the next day she squeezed it and I fainted😄 the scar is still there. Then before I was nine I got one at the back of my leg…that thing left a scar like an eye👁
