Thank you X, That one's been confusing me for a while

Wow, the word has a history, who knew? Thanks Brendon.

here just about all the words have some sort of history. In the plantation days, portugese, japanese, chinese, filipinos, hawaiian, koreans and the like all worked togeather and the languages merged, creating a new language "pidgin english". Really ugly English, so much as to be completely baffling to the uninitiated.

some others:

Budda head: not used anymore, but it meant japanese person

Pake (pah kay): chinese person; cheap person (originated as a mispronounciation of the chinese word for father)

Moke : Hawaiian person...not a good idea to use this one

Sole (So Lay): Samoan...not too bad, just don't call a samoan sloe unless you know him

buk buk (book book): Filipino

Brendon, if you don't mind me asking ---are you of Hawaiian native "stock" or are you of European --or something more complex than this?

Something much more complex. You see, my family, we love everyone. Basically (historically), if you are hot, we'd like to get to know you better ( hello ladies)
Hawaii truely is a melting pot and I should be it's mascot. My ethnic background is : Chinese, Japanese (so I guess that makes me Korean...lmao), Filipino, Portugese, Irish, Spanish, Hawaiian and also either German or English (we found Smith Blood in our tree and are researching it now)

Are Sole and Sloe two different things?

James.

sorry jimbo, that was a typo. it's should be "don't call a Samoan 'Sole" unless you know him" I should probably add "or wanna get intimate with the art of eating floor".
