“Tuuuuuur esei ta dibo?!” = Is aaaaall that yours?!
“No saka mi pòrtret!” = Don’t take my picture!
“Asina chinès a muri” = That’s how a Chinese man died
“Hesusei, no ta bista!” = Jesus hey, that’s no sight (for sore eyes)!
The biggest insult you could give a girl growing up in Curaçao: “è è bo atrás (depende unda bo ta: s-nk-) ta plat!!!” (“è è you have a flat behind!”). And inevitably, when it’s no longer… “o yiu, ba boná!” (dayum, you’re well-endowed!)
And who can forget The Yellow Claw’s Krokobil (Croco-butt) filmed in Curaçao? (I swear it’s something in the water!)
I love your blog! Thank you for the laugh. 😉
