We were talking about the different ways Guyanese express things, as opposed to what we're used to. Christina, a girl from #57 says that another way to say...
"chill out" = "Humble yourself!"
"What's up?"= "What's da latest?"
"She has an hourglass figure" = "She have a shape like a coca-cola bottle"
"You're ticking me off" = "Don't disgust me" or "Don't fatigue me"
So, there's some of the great sayings we get to hear out and about!

That's so funny! You'll have to bring some of those back to the US when you come home....that'd sure get some people's attention! Hope you're both doing well.

I thought they were pretty great myself, so I figured I'd share them. The coca-cola bottle one still cracks me up.
