After working 26 hours over the past two days this mixtape is a godsend. Yet another reason why worship at this site…
Schweet. Thanks so much. Bouncing along in my office chair….
@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.
