When I got some time I'll introduce you to a banna named Google, he knows lots of stuff. Or you rass run outta stuff to talk 'bout?

Too much confusing information out there. I think its used differently in Guyana as a derogatory term. In India its been used to denote a group of lower caste people (porters, etc), which is not the same as the way its used in some other places to refer to poor Indian immigrants. I have heard some people used the term "Cooliness" when they get angry.

I was just wondering what exactly people mean when they use the term in Guyana or if it has multiple meanings.
