It is a Jamaican Creole term, and I did not think you are Jamaican?

Sounds like Cultural Appropriation.

No. Why you ask?

What is a Jamaican Creole term?

You just used it! I do not think ignorance is an excuse for cultural appropriation.

Pointing out negative terms used against minorities is not cultural appropriation, it's stupidity by the user of the word to describe demographics they dislike.

Stop embarrassing yourself and stay on topic.

I don't agree with calling her octomom, none the less we understand the two words are weighted and reserved for certain individuals.
