Ramping Trini Style

In Trinbago words can have a different meaning from that found in a dictionary....Take the words ramp and ramping for example, the Trini meaning is play usually rough play or horse play by anyone (kids and adults alike). Ramp or ramping usually takes place between two or more persons. Activities that can be referred to as ramping include play wrestling, fighting games and the like. Indeed many times ramping went from being a game to real fighting, wrestling and the like. Many Trinbagonians can testify to this fact!

Examples of usage: Day like to ramp on de bed. They like to ramp on the bed.

Another Classic Trini Saying

Here is another classic Trini saying...'Ah go done yuh worries'. Translated accordingly 'I will done your worries'. What does this mean? It is a threat to do you (bodily) harm or kill you. The implication is that when your dead or badly damaged you won't have anything to worry about again, hence 'done yuh worries'.So when a Trini threatens to 'done yuh worries' take it seriously, it can mean the difference between life and death.
