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 http://niceup.com/patois.html and one which explain some expressions http://jamaicanpatwah.com/ PS one which had potential was titled "Jamaican Street Hustle [Comedy Sketch]".

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.
