I've decided to add a few trini sayings or proverbs. 1. "Don't count egg in fowl bottom". This is almost the same as 'don;t count your chickens before they hatch'. Therefore it means don't count on things working out a certain way until you see it happens.
2. "Peas doh bear corn"(peas don't bear corn). It means that a person's offspring is just like that person in character or looks.
So enjoy these witty sayings! I am presently researching some of the newer sayings that are making the rounds now. Language as we know is dynamic always changing evolving and some sayings/ phrases of yesteryear are rarely used by trinidadians at present. These newer sayings are still very unique and are becoming part of our trini dialect. These will be released in time.
