It's kind of hilarious how Guyanese came up with the
words Door Mouth is entrance to inside home.
The bruk up english we speak came from our fore
parents who tried to speak english words,most spoke
their native language,my grandfather born in the late
1890 in British Guyana i can't recall he spoke english.

It might not be appropriate English according to Webster, but the language sometime seems practical for its purpose.
Me ah go 'dea' and me gun come back 'jus-now'. Where is 'dea' ? And what is the time limit for 'jus-now' ?
I'm always chuckling at "What a clock?" when asking the time.

MAAR..water drained from cooked rice.
Maar with cooked rice added with onions, pepper and a
pinch of salt does taste good.

We called that storage area......Bakar
it was actually a good sized room under our house.
when the rice industry came to an almost halt my mom used to let the newlyweds from the village live in it. Especially the ones who eloped and had nowhere to live. they would live in it for about a year or so until they 'catch dem hand' or make up with family and they would move on.
