Jamaican Dad Jokes - Firemon - 08-11-2018
RE: Jamaican Dad Jokes - CardBoardBox - 08-12-2018
I'm not going to bias anyone concerning the video. I spent 8 minutes of the 14.
I classify the youtube comments as slightly additive. Slightly. I did wonder if Dad was a mis-spelling. D's and B's are so close.
I did go to the users site and began to wonder if I had been misprouncing the word "foreign" (that's us people) since he has a caption showing "farrin" but who am I to judge that our spelling is better. Does Amazon sell a patoi dictionary? ***
What I did find unsetteling is one from 4 months ago titled "I quit my job to do YouTube." (God, I hope not. Watch for my video "is Jamaica public education something to savor or flee?") Again, who am I to judge as many people have an income from the site. (aka click-bait?)
***footnote. NO. But I did find a close approximation

and one which explain some expressions

PS one which had potential was titled "Jamaican Street Hustle [Comedy Sketch]".

Didn't know I needed to let you in on the joke but Dad Jokes are by definition Bad Jokes.

Dad is right there on the screen image, twice. (Wasn't implying you typed it wrong in the subject line.) Of all the things I do searches on/for, principally based on news stories and videos , it eludes me why I didn't seek out the definition, so thanks for the enlightenment.
In retrospec, "try not to laugh" shoulda been "try to endure the whole 14 minutes." I seriously thought it was another case of not understanding what Jamaicans find funny.

"Whoosh" is an onomatopoeia for the sound of a fast moving object flying over someone’s head.
