1729. Mash up di place


English Translation

To be wildly successful


Definition

The phrase "mash up di place" in Jamaican Patois means to cause a big impact, turn up the energy, or make a scene—usually in a positive, powerful, or exciting way. While “mash up” alone can mean to destroy or ruin something, in this expression it more often means to dominate, get attention, or impress everyone—especially in dance, music, or party settings.


Example Sentences

Patois: Di DJ mash up di place laas nite!
English: The DJ had the place going wild last night!
