Jamaican Sayings and Proverbs

‘When trouble ketch yu pickney shut fit yu”
Any port in a storm

“What a fi yu, cyaan be un fi yu'”

What is yours will always be yours

”Duppy know who fi frighten”’

People know who they can intimidate

Rock stone a river bottom cyaan know sun hot

He who feels it knows it
