This review is from: More talkin' Bahamian (Paperback)
More Talkin' Bahamian is a humorous, but information packed dictionary of local vernacular vocabulary of the Bahamas. It is interesting and useful if you hear Bahamian slang and want to know what it means. The definitions are arranged as in a lexicon with some special sections on rules for talking like a Bahamian and Bahamian proverbs and sayings. I think the book would be much more helpful if there were a section to look up words in standard English to see the Bahamian equivalent that the non-Bahamian could be use as he/she spoke.
