Ah know dis post kinda AB Trini-ish eh.... but...
Was having a discussion with ah partner the other day about common phrases and sayings that you must hear in a Trinidad sweat.. I found it funny, because I never gave it active thought before, but to an outsider we must be does sound real kicksy when we sweating...
Some examples:
"BAAAAAAALLL BOOOOOOY" - said when someone makes a great pass and while the ball is still in motion
"FIND MEH... FIND MEEEEEH" - said when someone is making a free run and wants the ball
"WIIIIIIIIIIIIDAAAAAAA!" - said when someone wants the ball out wide
"TO FOOT! TO FOOT!" - said when someone wants the ball played to feet
"DOH TAKE IT SOOO" - said after dribbling an opponent
what are some others u could think of??

"You is ah real ball hoe, oui" - When you doh pass the ball to someone... who wants it...

"You go miss yuh birthday"- exclamation at a poorly missed chance on goal.
"cyah trap" - trying to psyche out his opponent just before he (the opponent) is about to control a pass
"one more" - urging a teammate to continue ball movement in the same direction.
"tell him tanx (thanks)" - said when the opposition gifts your team possession with a bad pass.
"rub it iz yours" - after witnessing some painful contact (most times embarassingly painful) that occurs without an expression of pain by the recipient.

In Brazil in this situation they say 'ladrão' which literally means 'thief'. The first time I heard it it struck me because it reflects the focus and commitment to protecting the ball.
