But for point of edification. The Bomba Charger and Bomba Challenger were named for famed sea captain 'Bomba' Allick of St. Croix.

By the way, for those who doubt we say man, even though they hear mon. Have you ever heard the word water said by people from different parts of the US. In almost every state it varies, some say wahter with a long a, some water with a short a, but when I hear them them say it, I know they are saying water! People say words to varying degrees, you hear what you think you hear or want to hear.

I was just pointing out that perception is reality. If people play it up for the tourists, then it becomes a reality.
Orion, why dont you tell the meaning behind "muthascunt"?
I heard that it was a word developed by locals to tell people off without them knowing, maybe that was just a ifference in tongues.

HAHAHAH

A West Indian friend was visiting me in the US and I took him over to see some of my other friends. He got into a discussion with my friends' son regarding music and electronic equipment, however, his reference to "cities" puzzled the young man no end until he realized he was talking about CDs!!

And for mangling the language, in certain parts of upstate NY the expressions "So didn't I" or "So don't I" are in common usage, even by highly educated people. Of course it means "So did I". Talk about extra syllables and contorted meanings - somewhere my sixth grade English teacher is rolling in her grave.

Chris I'm new here and I am not sure what they allow in terms of profanity so I'll let that one rest. LOL!!!

I could be wrong but I don't believe it's "bomba clot". Literally translated it makes no sense. However "bumba" or "bumbo" means backside or rear end. Thus "bumba" or "bumbo" clot would describe toilet paper. Much in the same way "ras" clot means toilet paper (apologies to followers of Haile Selassie who use the term "Ras" as a title of importance). And of course there's "blood" clot, which describes a used feminine product.

This is getting really hard to follow since

Yall talk difrent from us here

All this talk about bomba this and bomba that has me confused....so I hafta ask....over on Tortola there's a place called Bomba's Shack (the place that has a "Full Moon" party week). Is there another meaning to the name of this place? Does "Full Moon" refer to a celestial body or maybe just some part of a body?

Inquiring minds want to know!!
