How about expressing some thoughts in Pidgin? A question, is it true there is a movement to save Pidgin? Nice.

Re: A Pidgin Thread
I think the creator of LOLcatz was trying to incorporate a loosely based form of Pidgin into their work.
I remember a newspaper I delivered around Schofield Barracks between 80-82 that had a small piece of teaching pidgin in it. My brother had cut a bunch of them out and put them in a photo album but it disappeared. I know that came from the book they have or the book came from it, one of the two, called Pidgin to DA Max! http://books.google.com/books/about/...d=QAcJSXpYoucC
Personally, I wen tink it be hard to type lidat!If anyone on Oahu is NOT happy , feel free to trade places with me.

Re: A Pidgin Thread
I have quite a few Chefs now that say "ono", and "broke my mouth". . . . oh, and "duck Soup" for when something is super easy. I am not sure how authentic Pidgin it is for all Hawaii natives, but I LOVED the new set of kitchen slang I learned working on Oahu.
I still love: Nadda badda me, why bodda you??flickr

Re: A Pidgin Thread
If authenticism (is that a word, LOL!) can be based on how long it has been around, I would say it's as good as Big Red considering it was there when we arrived in 79 and likely there long before that.
I have only come across one pic of my brother post Hawaii, that he wasn't flashing the Hang Loose sign that I had put on his tombstone and I will always hear the way he said "waz up seesta!!?" when we saw each other.If anyone on Oahu is NOT happy , feel free to trade places with me.

Re: A Pidgin Thread
The word shaka have a lot of different meaning depending how you use it.
shaka cah...nice looking car
shaka eye...sharpshooter as in agates.
shaka laka....good looking
shaka as in hang loose...a slogan Mayor Fasi made up as in the "shaka"sign
The shaka sign as it is known now used to be a silent Howsit...we used to flash it with our arms on our side and a flip of the wrist.
Ehtay as in mahu like
