Barbadian sayings carry the salt of the Atlantic and the warmth of a rum-shop grin, mixing dry wit with firm, homespun counsel. Their rhythm matches tuk drums and market chatter, playful on the surface, serious underneath. Themes of perseverance, neighborliness, and self-respect flow through images of cane fields, flying fish, and restless surf. Sly turns of phrase, a lilt of Bajan dialect, and wisdom that checks pride, prizes community, and laughs at hardship chart a steady course through everyday storms.
