If I remember correctly, I learned in the documentary "Bigger Than Africa" from a Trinidadian professor that it comes from the African word "limin" which has similar meaning
she actually came back in 1988,when she performed with run d mc at a concert at our national stadium, after the show my friends met her at the hotel where she was staying,it was very late but she wanted cigarettes real bad,story short they got it for her she said keep the change which was sizeable they had a really good time hanging out with her, that's no act she really is a cool chick. ,my friends met her at the hotel where she was staying
Comes from Lime Street, in Liverpool, UK - where sailors used to hangout between trips, chillin and spending the time and cash on ‘colourful ‘ pursuits before heading out for the seas again. In fact, Liverpool sailors weee called Limies/Lymies - a term later used for anyone who likes to hangout. Much history of slavery and trading with Liverpool docks can be seen in black history museum in Liverpool dockyards - an interesting day out but emotionally impactful 🤷🏽♀️🙏🏽
To the Queen We Trinie don't talk like how U broke it down U sound more like a Jamaican lol but I still luv Yah happy U visit my Country Trinie and enjoy yr stay 😚
Queen Latifah should know her facts before she goes on national television and spread propaganda. Thank you. liming Verb 1. Present participle of lime. 2. (Trinidadian, Caribbean, slang) hanging around, usually in a public place with friends, enjoying the scene. "No Liming or Loitering - No Shouting or Loud Noise" (written on a sign in Port of Spain shopping mall). Origin 1) The word is associated with sitting under a lime tree, or having nothing more demanding to do than squeezing limes. It is also thought to originate from "limey", a slang term meaning a British serviceman during World War II (noted for hanging around bars and drinking). 2) During long voyages at sea, sailors would suffer from a disease known as Scurvy which was caused from a lack of Vitamin C. British soldiers would counteract this by taking limes on board and sucking them periodically. For this, they came to be known as "limeys". During WW2 when many limeys were stationed in Trinidad and Tobago, they would seek amusement from the local prostitutes (Green-Corner, Port-of-Spain was famous for this and there is more than one calypso sung about it e.g. Jean and Dinah - Sparrow). The locals would see the limeys hanging out and say that they were "liming", hence, liming became a verb which means to hang out (source: English teacher in Hillview College, Trinidad-and Tobago early 90's).
