I came across this list while browsing on the 'WEB" and thought that is was cute and interesting. Take a read and I guarantee you that you have heard them as a child or if you are not that old then you must have heard someone talking about what "Meh Mudda Taut' Meh". I posted these on my Santiwah Blog but decided to use it as part of the "Yuh is ah Trini Series" of posts. I don't know who originally put the list together and don't make any claims regarding this very wonderful list. These are sure to put a smile on your face... Enjoy!
