'rastafarian' is an offensive term, it's called rasta 194.112.58.59 03:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Is it an offensive term? I know RastafarianISM is an offensive term, as the movement rejects being called an ISM, and I know the incorrect pronunciation RastaFAIRian is offensive. But I know Rastas who self-describe as Rastafarians. Are the band The Rastafarians considered offensive? --BobFromBrockley 12:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patwa or Patwah?
Which of these is the more standard spelling? --BobFromBrockley 11:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Question
What does "so mi go so den" mean? It's heard in many sean paul songs.
[edit] Answer
I am Belizean , so and I can understand Jamaican pretty well. It literally means, "so i go like that then". It is a response to a prior action and it is weird even to me that sean paul does that.
[edit] Citations
Could this article cite some sources, rather than just references at the end? Some of the claims made require substantiating: "and even "seh" meaning 'that' (in the sense of "he told me that" = "im tel mi seh") and taken from a west African dialect" - is this correct, for example? I would have thought it came from "He told me, and SAID...", since it is also used in the sense of "Who no seh..."?
