Jamaicans are known to be witty and often have a way with words. They use terms or phrases, street codes to communicate with different persons in different ways on different things.

If you have ever travelled on a Jamaican minibus, you might have heard people (mostly men) request a stop in every other way except to ask for “a stop” directly. We took to social media and asked some of our followers to tell us the funniest ways they have heard a Jamaican ask a minibus driver for a stop.
