I figured maybe we can start an alliance as a Caribbean and maybe someday we can thrash the American Players in a tournament.

I saw this thread on some other forum. Quite an interesting attempt at translating jamaican patois very adept translation. But looking at translation of patois, sometimes it seems more subjective than from a global library. I take an English word and distort it the way i want, is that really patois.?

I thought it was more of a joke than a literal translation.

Awesome thread, I laughed at almost every one.
