what local words/slang have you already been
#1
incorporating into your daily discussions.....for most of us newbies trying to use some local slang - i want to know what others have picked up effectively in their short timeframes there.

For me, i like saying da kine " you no da kine", also i like also saying "you no" alot...my new favorite is greeting is Howzit with a nice smile.....
