My parents grew up with the word "lime" in GT. I've heard the word used by both Guyanese and Trinis though the Trinis claim it's their word. So much of our stuff is similar to theirs that sometimes it's difficult to know where things originated. I hear the word a lot the day after carnival, a big fete or event.

GG, Both of my parents used the word "lime" as teens growing up in GT. Of the word's origins, I make zero claims. But both Guyanese and Trini's use the word--and have for at least 50 years. When do we get to say it's Guyanese?

Wow, didn't expect that lime would lead to crime and the opposite of hanging long... Hope you are well and this story was fictional. :-)

You mean they didn't tell you that 'lime' is not Guyanese? We borrowed it from Trinidad.

I hadn't gone to that Lime in ages. When it first started, it was all about craft.

I got curious this year and was planning to go but a friend from one of those Eastern Europe places persuaded me to not go. I ended up visiting her home, she's married to a Guyanese.
