  1. realy cant say enough good things about this site . . you’re like the older brother i never had . . thanks for the mix

  2. @Fulltext – talked to John. He was right.

    1. bomboclat:
    A Jamaican expression meant to convey shock or surprise
    “I won $50,000 in the lotto!”
    “BOMBOCLAT!”

    2. bumbaclot
    A cloth or rag used to wipe ones anal region. However, most Jamaicans
    use it as a substitute for the word f*ck to express anger or surprise.
    Bumbaclot! Dem tek mi rolex and mi new links!!
