One more thing. The way I spell my nom de plume is phonetic only eh? Doh spell macomere the way my name is 'macoomeh'. Doh get tie up.
We have to remember, spelling a word wrong does not make it our patois. There is an underlying thread and etymology to the words.
Would love to see more of our creole used. We losing it fast! Even the Lucian, Dominican or Haitian creole is different.

[just cool]

Queen, yes maco, macomere femme or macomereman are all words used for "gay male" and Lucian, Dominican and Haitian patois/Kreol are all different just like Dominican Rep, Puertorican and Cuban Spanish is slightly different; but the Lucians, Dominicans , Haitians and Trinis (ki parle Patois) can all pretty much understand one another.

Indian Arrival Day Fest
Food and music spice up the celebration
By Anil Mahabir

Indian arrival day festivities on May 30 celebrated the 155th anniversary of the arrival of East Indians to Trinidad. The festivities include aspects of Trinidad culture which are original products of Indians here. The dhantal, a musical instrument, and "doubles," a spicy Indo-Trinidadian dish, cannot be found elsewhere in the world, except, perhaps, in areas where Trinidadians have migrated.

The dhantal, which sounds like a beautiful bell, was invented in Trinidad and Tobago over 100 years ago. It originated from the rhythmic beat of a discarded horseshoe and crowbar or piece of straight steel about three feet long, common materials found on the sugar plantations where many Indians worked. Soon, the dhantal, as it came to be called, became a primary instrument in local devotional Indian singing.

Trinidadian Indian food also took on a creative twist with "doubles." Doubles is a local delicacy regarded as the national dish of Trinidad. It is made of curried chickpeas sandwiched between two pieces of fried flatbread, topped off with chutneys and spices. It is the number one choice for fastfood and breakfast. It costs only one Trindadian dollar (us$0.18) and just two can fulfill the desires of any glutton.
