Geez, dis is a huge thread. For what it's worth, here is my 2 cents.
First of all, I talk pidgeon like any other local kid who grew up in Hawaii. But from a purely technical and practical standpoint, I no see da point in using excessive pidgeon when writng for print. Da idea behind a creole language was to aid comunications between different races, right? Pidgeon was, and is, a shortcut alternative to learning da whole language of the people next door. Honestly, I have a hard time reading some of the words when they are spelled phonetically. It takes longer fo my brain to undastand'em. If it takes longer fo my brain to catch on, den das not a shortcut to communication and it defeats the purpose of pidgeon english. IMHO, I think pidgeon in writing has only 2 uses:
1- to eliminate typing out the entire word or phrase.
eg. Normal-"That is why the situation is difficult"
Pidgeon- "ass why hard"
2- to convey a casual mood or casual approach.
eg. Normal- "I am upset with you. Please stop doing that!"
Pidgeon- "wow laulau, no make li'dat"
In the former example, if you spoke those words to the bruddah down Waianae-side dat when fly open his car door in da parking lot and when ding yo fender, you guys gonna be throwing some blows in da parking lot.
But if you chose the phrase in the latter example, he would probly say "oh sorry brah" and hele on fo get his plate lunch and dig out.
So das my opinion on dis matter. But like Dirty Harry sez, "Opinions are like a--holes. Everybody has one." |

| When people speaking 2 or more dialects come together, "accent levelling" takes place. More easy foa share recipes. |

Braddah Jay:
I tink I had phd but I no remembah coz I lolo.
Wen u drink beeya, drink lite beeya, 95 cals one can. Mo cheep too. Den no eat too much. 12 pack is aroun 1000 cals. Dat is my limit at one sitting give o take a coupo. If gotta eat, den eat low fat protein fo rebuil da mussoh. No eat nuts, chips, hi-fat meats, pizza an junk lidat. No need da carbs and fats, coz da beeya an alchohol is da carbs. Need lean protein like po'ke or egg whites or nomo taste kine meat. If u train 5 days a week fo 2 hrs a day den no get fat if dreenk 2-3 beeya per day an follow wot I jus said. Wen I say 2 hrs a day, it is a hard 2 hrs. Because my gym is empty wen I go, I move from one weight excersize to onaddah one pretty fass. An in between gotta do fass running, massho art forms or heavy bag work if get. I go moah fo maxing out on reps raddah den max weights so I no lose speed from getting too big. Bumby fall in da ocean wen I pick opihi. Also excess mussoh eat up da O2 too fass wen diving. Anden wen training, no stop fo notting, ..... except ... wen get wahine fo look at. Az y u go wen empty so nomo distractions.
Gotta get dicipline if u like dreenk beeya an be in shape. |

Glenn you must eat like a bachelor single man. Yikes. Nomo healthy that way. Need to follow d afood pyramid.
A good diet is not tofu and beer. You ova deah Iowa, get corn and other farm fresh goodies.
I nevah like you end up like me, broken down junk. You do all the conditioning and stuff, think from the inside out instead. You know mobettah. |

Yea, Cory, da camera wen broke. Had won young wahine at my gym hu insisted dat she take some pickchas. I woz 50 at dat time. Eh Wanda, u can pos' da fly in da air one if you like. I kaina jalike Momi, no like sho da face to da worl. Bud eh, neya mine, go pos' da tigah form one again if u like. Az some lumpai lolo said: "As an artist, bring it."
Wanda, you advising me about diet and eksasize is like won junkalunka Escort tellin won Ferrari how fo go fastah. My diet is not that of an ignorant single man. No can fine plenneh guys hu can tolerate my spartan diet. My knowledge of biochemistry and nutrition is quite extensive. I oni wen pos how fo dreenk beeya an not get fat or oudah shape. Not wot my regulah entire regime is. Da food pyramid is lolo. A regime should be customized to an individual genetic make up and lifestyle. Da food pyramid will not turn u into a Ferarri.
Peepo at mah werk place ste amazed at wot I ged in my draws. I tell em how fo make da brain moah akamai by eksasize an nutrition. heheh ... excep fo da beeya paht. Aniway, goin take onnadah 5 pages fo tell wot kine regime I keep. Dis is all so dat I can keep goin fisheeng at da kine lolo kine place wea some guyz ma'ke o ged hert.
Braddah Jay, u like go down to 180? Staht slow, bumby da bodeh too soah an u goin geeve up. Cut out da OIL an SUGAH. Enuff carbs fo kick staht fat burn. Den da hahd paht, wen u hit da wall gotta be hahd koa intense fo keep goin. Mind ovah mattah brah. Az if yo life ste on da line. Heheh, akchoolee yo life iz on da line. Weekday won hr nuff until ged condishun, den go samoah, den if ged time on da weekend u go try hikin fo 2-3 hrs or go join gym, adleese ged eye-candi. Uphill walk/run iz good. Set up won regime an make em yo life. Go until no can move. Once u cut down da junks, da bodeh ajuss, anden wen u eat junks, da bodeh no like.
Kaina like playin slack key, no happen by magik. Gotta werk hahd at em. An gotta be consistent. Erry singo day. If hahd den take break coupo dayz, den go again. No slack off. e-mail me if you like direkshun. |
