You Know You're A Trini When......

[Shadowhunter]

LOL You know you're a trini when:

You can mock other accents but others can't mock yours easily.

LOL have you heard Russell Peters' take on the Trini accent? Totally on point!


You know you're a Trini when you expect to be interrupted at any point of your day or night by an annoying mike with warbled information. It drowns out your conversation, music, and TV but even in total silence you can rarely ever understand what they're saying anyway!

Hahahaha best one yet! They refuse to use better quality horns to get anything close to audible sound. Good thing they usually repeat or else it would be useless.

 

[Shadowhunter]

Dude I don't even hear it. In dead silence it's like "sk....announce the.......PRINCES TOWN....in......gleep.....SUPER SALE......own......lipe.....DOWN NOW.....SALE.....only this......KAHO NA PYAR HAIIIIIII KAHA NA PYARRR HAIIIIIIIII" with really loud static throughout like if they're intentionally doing a creepy stalker breathing sound into the mike the whole time. How does anybody understand this stuff? Worse yet when they talk while the music playing lol

 

[nirtime]

LMAO the talking with the music playing is the worst and doh talk about when you driving and get stuck behind them and they ole Laurel doin 20 hahahaha.

 

[Shadowhunter]

Worst of all is when they park up in front your house man. There is nowhere you can hide to escape the sound! It's like those horror movies where the sound effects and music get louder the closer the killer is to you lol only Trini style!


You know you're a Trini when you take bad roads for granted and when a lot of your conversations involve talk of making a cook or a lime.

 

[nirtime]

You know you're a Trini when a car with massive horn drivers called a Mic parks up in front your house and continues to make announcements :behindsofa:

 

[Shadowhunter]

Ahahahahaha not even earplugs help in that situation nah. I envy the houses they can't get to.

You know you're a Trini when you always have ketchup in your kitchen lol

 

[nirtime]

Ketchup? Nah Trini kitchen must have some home made pepper sauce.

 

[Shadowhunter]

Both man. And chadon beni. If it's not growing around your house, it's in your fridge or something lol

 

[nirtime]

A Trini Kitchen must have an array of ingredients. From curry to Pelau receipes it must be in the cook book.

 

[Shadowhunter]

You have either or both of these in your kitchen (or at least know what it is!):

 

[nirtime]

Lol true, some non-trinis may know it though, those who like our cuisine.

 

[LadyDeath]

You know you're a Trini when your plans throughout the year have to revolve around very fickle wet and dry seasons.

 

[nirtime]

You know you're a trini when you quarreling because a truck pass and release mud water on your freshly washed vehicle.

 

[Shadowhunter]

You know you're a Trini when you think every loud sound you hear is an accident because you're so used to big trucks speeding around corners with no warning.

 

[Mr.Bollywood]

[nirtime]

Must know you in Trini when the majority of new Pick Ups are 4wds fitted with chrome and used like big cars.
