Dreadlocks Man
A certain type of Rastafarian that wears special clothing (turbans, robes etc…) based on their religious beliefs.
(patois) Di bobo dread deh ina di ackee tree.
(english) The dreadlocks man is in the ackee tree.
The Rastafarian language is actually much easier to learn than Jamaican Patois because it’s mostly a play on English words (e.g. “overstand” for “understand”,“downpress” for “oppress”,“ I-ditate” for “meditate” etc…) rather than being an entirely separate dialect as with Jamaican Patois.
