Beautiful Belize, Interesting Words and Sayings

I started a group on Facebook and named it "Belizeans, West Indians and Creole Language and sayings." The purpose of this group was to bring people together to share and discuss cultural and language issues related to Belize, the West Indies, and the creole language and experience. Many transplanted Belizeans like myself, a 30+ years resident of Los Angeles and married to a non-Belizean, yearn for conversation with other Belizeans. The internet and in particular, Facebook provides us with the valuable opportunity to socialize and fill this void. This book came about as the result of a conversation on Facebook. A few friends and I were discussing some interesting Belizean creole sayings, many that we hadn't heard in ages and others that were obscure. The energy and enthusiasm was palpable as we challenged each others' memories to unlock these cool and interesting sayings from the recesses of our brains. The fun and excitement grew with each new saying from our childhoods that a member from the group shared.
