Mauger , the Jamaican Patois word for meagre , is a term used in rural Jamaica for a thin woman. In Jamaica, plumpness is considered to be important or vital to good health. The desired body is plump, full of vital bodily fluids, and the flow of substances through the body is maintained, both of which are contributing factors to good health. Any disruption in this flow or lack of bodily fluids is considered to be unhealthy and contributes to sickness. Being thin is associated with bad health, and is a factor which affects social relationships. According to Elis J. Sobo, A slim person, especially a slim woman, is called a mauger meagre and powerless as if not alive at all, and like a mummy or an empty husk, far beyond that powerfully dangerous state of decay. A thin, dry body reveals a person s non nurturant nature and his or her lack of social commitment p.262 . Cultural Beliefs Being plump is associated with good social relationships, and thin person mauger is associated with bad social relationships. With this, unkindness and infertility are associated with a thin person. Food practices in the kitchen, as mentioned before, can give away a person s personality by use of food. For example, ones who do not use salt in their cooking are considered to be mean, as salt is associated with plumpness, meaning good health and good social relationships with others. Another example would be the purchase of store bought foods. References Sobo, Elisa J. The Sweetness of Fat Health, Procreation, and Sociability in Rural Jamaica Ed.

Unreferenced date December 2009 War is a calypso form that has existed since at least the turn of the twentieth century. Originally it was sung in patois . The classic War form is an eight line stanza, the first four lines in a minor key, then modulating into the major, and returning to the minor with the refrain santimanite sans humanit in patois, in English without humanity . The object of War is to promote the calypsonian and defeat his competitors. A War verse by Growling Tiger When I was a child at the age of five And my dear old grandfather was alive He would sit me upon his knee And say boy listen to me He said boy I will tell you your birth i.e. fortune and it is to rule over men on this earth .

unreferenced date December 2009 Paramin is located in the western area of the Northern range above Maraval in Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago . A sprawling steep and mountainous village, residents have traditionally been farmers, producing herbs like chives, thyme and parsley as well as vegetables like tomatoes and yams. Many of the original residents of the area are descendants of the French migrants to the island and the surnames reflect the heritage. French Creole or Patois was spoken by most residents in the 1960s, but today, it is no longer taught and many younger people no longer speak it. The area is also home to two specific music genres Cr che and Parang . Both are specifically played at Christmas time. They reflect the French and Spanish influences of the island mixed with Afro Caribbean beats. Parang has seen a large resurgence in recent years where we are seeing mixes with both Soca and even Chutney music with lyrics in English. Cr che, on the other hand, appears to be disappearing. The Maraval Folk Choir, known for both Cr che and Parang, produced a Cr che album in the 1970s, and the Paramin Folk Choir produced one in 2004. The area is predominantly Roman Catholic, and the primary school and the Church that serve the area are Catholic. The Church still offers a well known Patois Cr ole mass on Dimanche Gras, the Sunday before Carnival . Most residents go to Port of Spain and its environs for most services including secondary education, health services, groceries, and shopping. coord missing Trinidad and Tobago Category Populated places in Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad stub ... more details

The sound is very percussion instrument percussion heavy a distinct holdover from Bhangra with a propulsive beat clearly designed for dancing.
