    I have a mate who used to live in the Bahamas.

    Do you know what the local name for 's..t' is in the Bahamas?


















    'Nani'. Yes, Nani = s..t <ok> :emoticon-0116-evilg

    It is fact. Not sure on the spelling, but that's what the folks over there call it. Couldn't make it up.

    I just wish the word was 'Evra' instead <ok>

    I've heard others use nani, specifically that sort of chant " heyyyy nani nani!"

    Like when white people figured out the word skeet, the shock , the horror!!! (Chappelle skit explains it all).

    It is geographically and geo-politically as it is a member of the Association of Caribbean sates

    You can just picture him walking down the street. People stopping and pointing, shouting "s..t, s..t, s..t, s..t......"

    I know nothing about that, but its interesting to see how this'll pan out, now its the Uruguayan FA backing Suarez.

    I fully expect to hear that the English FA have formally backed Evra, following strenuous lobbying from their main source of backing, Sir Alex Ferguson:emoticon-0107-sweat

    I suspect the Uruguayan FA have been lobbied to provide evidence and backing for the use of the word "negrito"
