Funny...

A little politically incorrect, but choose to laugh at yourself and you will enjoy the da kine!

Garanz!

Freakin' Hilarious! For those of you who enjoyed "Pidgin to Da Max" back in the 80's (and still do), this is a great update to it with classic terms that still hold up today as well as new terms that make you wonder why "Pidgin to Da Max" didn't think to put in. You'll enjoy each word used in a sample sentence as well. Garanz Ballbaranz...

da kine

I moved from Oregon to Hawaii and the lingo is way different. In fact pidgin is totally undecyperable (if you haolie, bra). Its all Hawaiian, Fillapino, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc spoken so quickly even when the odd English word pops up you aren't sure you know what was said. Enough about the practical its funny too. Required reading if you move in the islands if you want to be a local haolie, and not a haolie haolie.

expatriate

if you used to live there, dis one gra book. If you still do, now you will be able to expand your vocabulary beyond, "you know, da kine".
