A friend of mine was telling me the other day he can listen to our fellow Jakans and pretty much tell you where they are from. Case in point, a certain country people will constantly make reference to women as "him".He had a few more intriguing examples too.

Case in point, a certain country people will constantly make reference to women as "him".

Some months ago I was watching a football match at STETHS and saw a vendor selling something that resembled asham. Having not seen it for a while, I asked the vendor what it is. I felt rather silly when the people around me laffed mockingly, as if, how could I not know!

Anyway, I proceeded to eat this "asham" and was surprised to discover that it wasn't corn and sugar as I knew it back in the day, but peanut and sugar. I wanted to tell those laffing fools that they themselves did not know the real asham and what I had in my had hand was crap.

Tilla, Santa Cruz people nuh know asham?!? Is corn mek it, not peanut!

[Rockman]

Hehehe, oh lawks!
