'Horse dead, CROW fat'...not 'cow' fat! This is an error that got inserted and adopted in somewhere along the line!
Crow, the scavenger, benefits from the death of horse. One outcome is the result of another! So if one gets oneself in a situation, for example, there is going to be a contingent outcome! So, often seen as a warning!
I very much enjoyed listening to your beautiful conversation...tinted with humor, wisdom, and innocence!!
I relate so well...as I have nephews and nieces in London...generations down from the Windrush saga!!
So very well done! I'm very proud of you young ladies!!...and to your parents who seem to have done such a great job bringing you up, kudos!!😂❤
'Puss n dawg doan hav d same luck' means consequences and or opportunities are different for different persons. A particular person may get an opportunity from an action and another individual gets a negative consequence for the same action. One has to know their 'place' in society to determine if an action could result in an opportunity or a negative consequence for him.
Same luck doesn't sound like different consequences
This is too crazy! You ladies are so young, but saying everything that I grew up hearing from my grandmother and I am a lot older. I am up at midnight in the USA lmao about these things you are saying. I came across an IG clip of Kyra's standup comedy and can't stop watching her, leading to this video.
Beating you in syllables😂😂😂😂
O my goodness these two baby's is so cool you all nailed the Jamaican slang perfect perfect .plad shirt I heard you for the first time about a month ago you are the funniest. Stay positive . you know where you came from .❤❤ Blessings be proud stay strong ❤❤

You both marinade well together, the banter is true and heartfelt 😊
Lol you ladies. Unu a kill mi. 😂😂😂
This was toooo accurate. I was bussin up. Thanks 😂😂😂
Love to listen to you two lovely young ladies. You have me laughing
It's your party, you can be late. It's a sign of being the boss, being late gets you attention, it's a level of importance having your guests waiting to see you arrive and of course to exhibit your birthday fit...being fashionably late
It's called a pet name. 🤣
Hi Young ladies, I enjoyed watching you two talked about your relationship with your parents and grandparents. I use to lived in the UK, but now live in the USA. Anyway, you said you did not know what a johncrow is? Well, it is a bird. It is vultures. Jamaicans called them johncrow.
Vultures and Scavenger bird u know yeah man ..
My older cousin got a lot of old Jamaican sayings. Sometimes when I go to her house she says a new one.
This is nice, I'm subscribing now!!😂😂😂
'Drangcro' (johncrow) is a vulture/crow that feeds on carrion. It is used to degrade/belittle someone who does any negative act to another. Eg. A person who cheats in a game could be called a 'drangcro' as well as a person disrespects you etc
I love your spelling!! Now THAT is being Jamaican!!!😂
That's 'dem duty drankro alright!!😂😂😂
Never been to the UK. I’m going to go there soon.
Sounds exactly like my family! Too funny 😅 and wouldn't change anything about them 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🏴
This is so funny stop 😭
You get your nickname based off your occupation your looks
OMGGGG.....My first time on your channel and I'm in stitches (if you know what I mean)...HAHAHAA....MI BADDDIEEEEE!!! I'm in my 50s and my Mom is still alive, and everything you say is still 100% true! Dem naw change!!! DEDDING!! LOL.... I can relate to every word....No sah, a muss trama dis.....hahahahaaaa! One thing though, I believe our upbringing made us strong..."There's some method to their madness"....LOL. Thanks for the laugh...I'm going to share it with my Mom and Aunt...lol
Cool to hereabout commonalities amongst the culture! Chill interview!
This is a all night party yea.😂😂😂
4:29 I’m not Jamaican but, I’ve got an aunty Cat who’s name is Veronica because she’s got cat eyes… I’ve called her aunty Cat since I was like 13😩 guys, the confusion and utter disbelief 😩
The name thing so real… old ppl change their name and everyone calls them by that…
This was very funny! Very similar to having a Kenyan upbringing 😂
This is funny😂😂😂😂
Enjoy your show girl
this is so funny 😁😂😀
You ladies have me laughing, I’m Jamaican and I was raised by my grandmother. She died at the age 96. I used those same words to my kids and they used them to their kids today. Horse dead and cow get fat means. You’re talking a lot of bull sh*t. I don’t have the time for. I enjoyed the show and also subscribe. Thank you ladies you brought tears to my eyes when I remembered my grandmother.
This is very funny
As an African I can relate so much 😂🙌🏾
It means if somebody a job for example that that doesn't mean you're going to be good at that job and if you do something wrong and you get away with it it does not mean the next person will get away with it that's what it means Pus
Sooo funny the both of you come back nuh
I’m scared to send this to my mum. She won’t accept she did any of this.
Think what you should have do is invite a person who live in Jamaica to help u understand some of the stuff
John crow is a bird/ vulture
John crow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
John crow 😂😂😂 that's not it 😂😂😂
Listen I learned all my grandfather's and uncle and aunts real names at the funeral. They said today we lay Andrew to rest I said na bredda a Reggie we a bury... no his real name is Andrew. Honestly I think it's a way to avoid tyranny and Babylon cause they will never have your real govvy
John crow in a bird..call vulture, feast upon dead animals or bodies
My dad used to nickname me ratbag or monkey.
My mum was like to me the other day girl where you going with your bambam there 😅 in other words you gained weight 😂 yes mum I have thanks for mentioning it to me
I used to live at home with my headphones on .... my mum be like you not hear me call you from earlier I could drop and be calling you and you not hear me cause you have them blasted things stuck to your blasted head 😅
Or I've been on this earth 73 years and I have seen it all heard it all you can't tell me nothing 😅
Horse dead and cow fat😂 I remember saying this to my non Jamaican friend and she was like “what the hell”
But it just means that the person has an excuse or story for everything.
Jan crow is a vulture
Many of us have heard it said this way, true! '...dont tell me no horse dead, cow fat!'...meaning 'dont tell me no foolishness'.😅
Actually, my Friend, it is not 'horse dead, cow fat'. There is little sense to that, really. People who did not understand the intent of the maxim, mistook the word 'crow' (johncrow... the vulture) for cow.
When horse...or any animal dies, it's a feast for johncrow! He gets fattened up!!
So its, 'Horse dead CROW fat!'....crow gets fat as a result of the demise of horse.
It can then have several shades of meaning; usually a warning to avoid a particular outcome!😊
Cyaan nyam a ppl yawd belly will run.
Yes we need a dictionary.
A johncrow is a vulture so basically they mean your low of the low since vulture always eats the left over rotten meat and considered low of the low. Puss and dawg nuh have the same luck means I can do something and get away with it but you may not
low of the lowest man 🤣🤣
Pus and dog dont have the same luck some one do some bad and getaway with it you do it and get in trouble
You are the lady who do the Jamaica 🇯🇲 comedy ❤
We built England yeah?
Jankroo = John Crow or vulture, nice way of calling a person a parasite. Quite the insult
'Jankro' is a buzzard; the scavenger of the sky that only eats dead animals
Horse dead and cow fat would mean me nu waa hear nu foolishness, depends on the context you use it
Don’t licki licki. “ to this day ppl in northern western culture, get a little offended. All the more I don’t want to eat from ppl. I won’t eat it. 😑… also speak proper English, which as a black person living in the united state, when I attended high school a few of my then peers I’ve encountered, asked me “are you trying to be white?”… what?!
Listen man, Johncrow is a Vultures Scavenger bired that feet on dead Animal or even humans if there body is laying in an outdoor area. when Jamaican say u a johncrow they basically saying you are low low low, lowest of low level comparison to the Johncrow scavenger bird
Hawse dead n cow fat means gibberish/nonsense
Why did I think it was Horse head and cow foot but we just talk bad. I might nees to revoke my citizenship lmao
@@paul-juniorblack6151Really bro? Smh. I'm revoking it bro.
Horse dead and Crow fat is not gibberish. A Crow (John Crow) is a buzzard that feeds on dead animals. If the horse dies, the Crow will have a lot to eat and get fat - not gibberish.
What about “don’t tek notin from anybaddy, don’t fine nutten an bring it ear, don’t barrow nutten fram nobaddy!! “
That prevented us from stealing. No strange things coming in this house.
Horse dead and cow fat-you talking unnecessary things/foolishness.
Jonkro meaning is a vulture a bird of prey 🦅 in Jamaica
Sinead you are a great interviewer❤
