          I don't know if this is a Maui thing or just a mahu thing, but my girlfriend's mahu neighbor on Maui always says "nails", which means "lame" or "junk". "That girl, she's so nails." (said with heavy mahu accent). lol
          I remember "grind" and "grits" from my Pahoa HS days onna Big Islan'.
          "We go grine," "You like grits, o' wot?"

          "Nails" for "junk" or "lame" became popular at my high school after I wen grad, while my sister was there, used by girls, guys, whoevers. I have also heard it used by -- transgendered individuals in the years since. During my sister's high school days, "Pin" was also a popular word -- all through the yearbook -- okay, the "annual" as it was commonly called. Of course, I have no idea what "pin" meant.

          I know a lot less than what there is to be known.

                              Okay, question form the Mainland. Is "suck'em up" or "suck'en'em up" statewide?

                              On Kauai I saw a group of young men drinking beer about 2:00 pm and another guy showed up and asked them "Wow, sucken em up already?"
