Re: "Puinsai"
It's a historical ... or hysterical..fact..that
Hawaiian Creole English .. pidgin to us guyz,
like most languages have words and phrases
with layered meanings.
To wit, "Puinsai" has several meanings, note-
worthy of course, is the one with the sexual
connotation.
While not being a expert in the Hawaiian
language by any means, I found some fascinating
reading in Mary Kawena Pukui's
"Olelo No'eau" which contain vast renderings
of Hawaiian proverbs and poetical sayings that
are both profound, enlightening, and humorous.
For those of Hawaiian descent and those
who have an intrest in things Hawaiian, it
is a treasure of proverbial and poetical sayings,
an heirloom to be passed on to their children
and their children's children.
For even those who casually examine it,
you will find it a volume of beauty, showing
the knowledge, compassion, foibles, and humor
of the Hawaiian people.
It's printed by Bishop Museum Press and
can be found at amazon.com
Now excuse me 'cuz me and Lurkah going on one
punani patrol...and maybe poke squid
tonite"I was going call 911 ...but I neva know da numbah"
