Bonjay is stems from creole grenadian language which derives from French Bon Dieu which means Good God. The expression Bonjay translates to American OMG
What about "yea u take me fa a papootan?" or "u take me fa a stupidy?" - meaning- so you think I'm stupid? "Gal whey u dey?" - Girl where are you? "Ah liming" - hanging out on the block. "how ah yu?" - answer: "ah dey" - meaning: how you doing? I'm good. "Yu basodee or wha?" - not acting with sound judgement. "Mine yu business, yu too fasst" - Stop sticking your nose in other people's affairs. "Yu jooking dem people for tebay" - you want a quarrel with someone. "Yu mouth running" - You can't keep a secret. "Yea come an juke me mouth" - You daring someone to come touch you 1st in a quarrel that would lead to a fight. "Boi go hold-ah-fresh" - Boy go take a bath. "Moove dey" - Go away! "Doh jumby me" - Let's say like someone promise to bring something to you and you get the notion that, the person would not really keep that promise....... from a Grenz in NY.
My mum used to say bunj all the time. My brother says Doddoy. Yuh burger I think that is yuh bugger. Grenadians say All Yuh instead of Y’All. He’s a nice looking young man Britney. Enjoyed this video took me back down memory lane
Miss Britney, you really, really make me miss me country. Your love for the spice island shines through any dark day...girl IF only we had the industry and infrastructure we all would be home and I believe you will relocate as well. ...but nick forgot this one "kiss me neck" the expression used for unbelievable feats..
I have a video request. Can you please make a video of you moving from fruit tree to fruit tree eating fruits, so they can see how many fruit varieties we have. Thanks😄
@@BrittneyKilgore If you friend an elderly Grenadian she will help you because Grenada IS the garden referred to in the lieble. You should experience what true life is by eating real fruits & veggies. So many Grenadians have no clue where they really are. Thanks again😄
We use the word thing /ting as well. Some guys say katty as well.For eg a guy may tell his friend that he is going to check or meet a katty after work.
We use the checking-out slang as well. I could call a fren and simply ask when u are you coming to check mi or when you a forward. We use the word forward for coming. ha! ha!
1:12 Wha' do you = What do you? ~ What's wrong with you? / What's your problem? Might be said to a friend if he/she is acting foolish in an irritating way. 3:27 Bunjjj = Bon Jay = Bon Dieu = "Good God!" ~ Oh my God! An exclamation of surprise or awe. Patois in origin. 5:09 I've read that 12 comes from the police code "10-12" which is used on radio to tell cops that visitors are on the scene they're going to. I guess people learned of the code and decided to use it back at the police by using it to warn each other that cops are in the area; and they just shortened it to 12. 5:36 Bacchanal = wild party; a domestic disturbance that gets the attention of the whole neighborhood. lol. Basically any noisy commotion that attracts onlookers, but it can also be used hyperbolically to mean controversy. 11:07 You bugger = literally means "you pederast!" / "you sodomite!" but it's not typically used with that original meaning in mind. It's equivalent to saying "you scamp!" or "you son of a b!tch!". But I've heard persons just say it as an exclamation the same way someone might just exclaim "damn!" or "sh!t!"
I like your meaning...youre Dead on! There's "yuh baych!" She s a "yae" "Ee good for you "....is like you get what's coming to you... "Main squeeze" is equivalent to my slime
I thought no one would recognize that. Most people from the south of the island sound like that, however country folk dialect is raw Greenz; except for those vincy and jamaican wannabes.
Sticking as I know it means wasting time or procrastinating. So if somebody had to check you 20 minutes again and they are taking long you call them and ask them why are they sticking. I never heard it used to mean if you're going to be remaining in a place.
I love this! Next time break it down to English and let them now Pappy Show means Puppet Show Whadoyou means what do you and so on, you know. So non- Grenadians will understand But I love this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
People are weird,its kinda surprising to see different People speaking different languages... Every language is weird,so do the people...one world one ethicity one language....love❤️
12 is a very old but recycled term it comes from an old police TV show called Adam 12. Another one is Five 0h from Hawaiian 5 0 which is another old police show. That's funny that y'all use that. Lol
Ahh, we use the poppy show slang down here in Jamaica as well . It simply means fool or idiot In patois we would say stop teck mi fi poppy show. ha! ha!
lol...i swear...instead of trinidad and tobago being a twin island....we might as well bring Grenada in too cause eeeevvvery slang.. accent... etc originates from trinidad lol
Excuse me, as a Triniof Greenz parents, please learn your history. Let me relieve you of your ignorance. The Cedula of population allowed Trinidad to be populated by the other Catholic neighboring islands i.e. Grenada and St. Vincent… So many of the free blacks, whites and mixed race people and their slaves mainly from Grenada populated the island and continued to do so until the1970s and to a lesser extent even today. So many of the estates in the West from Diego Martin to POS were owned by Grenadian people. Even Gros Jean the slave credited for being the originator of calypso was Grenadian, as was Eric Williams’ dad, The Mighty Sparrow, Buzz Butler etc. Areas like Diego Martin, Paramin, Maraval, St. Ann’s, La Brea, Moruga and Point Fortin, Marabella, Sangre Grande are full of Grenadians and their descendants. Trust me if anything Grenadian slang infiltrated Trini slangs and in some cases it’s the opposite. Know your history Sir…
@@beyourself2444 So poppyshow and babylon for police, fool fool, Yuh bugga are Trini origin slangs? You could have fooled me because all of those are Jamaican words, created by Jamaicans
As for checking out a person for eg a guy observing or admiring a girl we use the word pree as well. She could simply ask him in creole A weh u a pree mi so fah.?
Finesse = Bramble/Bon Jay = Oh my God/Bacchanal = Drama or dramatic/You buggah - is ole English. Literally "you bugger" (he didn't know the history lol) Bull = Gay sex. Bullah = Gay man/ Check me - would be equivalent to "Pull up"/ Leh we go = Let's roll.
Bonjay is stems from creole grenadian language which derives from French Bon Dieu which means Good God. The expression Bonjay translates to American OMG
A lot Grenadian slangs have a French origin because Grenada was once a French colony. Like Fete or Bonjay

BONJAY patios.... means Good God
Yes its grenadian patios
Not only grenadian patios its patios on a hold
Makeace nah .... also another one name used often..
Yes make haste
Actually its creole, it translates to; "Good God!" which I guess if you were to say it in English you would say; "Oh My God!"
My island 🇬🇩
Bon jai...... Good God....
We use the checking-out slang as well. I could call a fren and simply ask when u are you coming to check mi or when you a forward. We use the word forward for coming. ha! ha!
If I'm not mistaken bunjay is a trini slang too, also papyshow.

Lol that's good to know. I just wanted to say it as a disclaimer that I'm not speaking for the whole US but I figured there'd be some overlaps

Nick Whyte, I hearing a faint Trini Accent from you in and between.
Grenadian and trini accents are similar. Depends on what part of grenada you are from
same thing i am saying... Grenadian and trini don/t sound alike
I thought no one would recognize that. Most people from the south of the island sound like that, however country folk dialect is raw Greenz; except for those vincy and jamaican wannabes.
@@na7ur3 I'm from the south of the island and I do not have a hint of Trini accent.
Lmao "That's my slime"
Same as Jamaica
Sticking as I know it means wasting time or procrastinating. So if somebody had to check you 20 minutes again and they are taking long you call them and ask them why are they sticking. I never heard it used to mean if you're going to be remaining in a place.
Some of these is said all throughout the states though everywhere in America says no cap including in Europe too like here in the UK
I love this! Next time break it down to English and let them now
Pappy Show means Puppet Show
Whadoyou means what do you
and so on, you know. So non- Grenadians will understand
But I love this 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well I guess I learned some southern slang too.. 😆
Bon Dieu means Good God as someone else explained.😂
