There were many funny uses of Pidgin such as lik lik haus sik for hospital, die = sick and die pinish for dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanursepaul Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I was on the main island in mid 2000's---- Working with New Tribes Missions-- quite an eye opener-- the country, the people, the landscape, the language...... dispela day..... dispel day...

Off Grid Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 And then of course you also have Croc Diamonds...... As every self-respecting local in N.E. Angola knows all this stuff about diamonds forming at huge depths and temperatures is just BS and diamonds are really made in the heads of crocodiles. It stands to reason after all.. diamonds are found in rivers and crocs live in rivers. Croc dies, decomposes and his diamonds stay in the river. Nevertheless it came as a big surprise one day back in the '80's when the diamond security police carried a large sack into the plant office and dumped a very decomposed croc on the floor and asked the manager to get the stones out of its head. The manager was a fairly volatile Sicilian so you can guess his response. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
