Jamaican Saga Boy

Me an’t fraid, me live on 131 Matches lane, straight. Come down yah, come down yah

This youtube short is about Horning. The scenario is played out with puppets and the clip has possibilities for a television comedy targeted towards an adult Jamaican or Caribbean audience. Pay close attention to the slang as the nuances are the root to its humour. Translated in part:

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Peter I don’t believe it, Peter, I have a nervous breakdown.

This is not what it seems like. This is a business transaction she gives me sex yes, but I pay for it and all those new positions I taught you in bed, comes from her.

The barbwire twist, the wheel barrow and the lizard lock.

Yuh see me money is well spent.

In Trinidad and Tobago, terms given to sexual positions also depict objects and animals, hence the helicopter or the Agouti.

Terms and Meanings:

Horning – Adultery

Bumbaclat – Any material used to wipe one’s arse

Agouti – A sexual position mocking a species of a West Indian rodent with penetration entered from behind. The subject, (submissive) generally tilts their head back, hence, the term; Agouti look back
