Hey guys! As a non-Trini, I've noticed the word "Steups" comes up a lot in your postings. I was wondering - what does it mean and how is it pronounced?
Thanks!Â
(I assume it means something like "For f**** sake"............... )
it doesn't mean that
It's actually not that bad an interpretation...it's a sign of frustration/disgust/exasperation...any of which can be verbalized as "For f**k sake"...lol
...but as for the question, kicks (and kisses) aside, it's the act of sucking (
sucking not simply drawing in) air between clenched teeth. Can be long or short-winded, depending on your level of contempt, exasperation etc.
