Gwaan sounds so sweet and cool too. Now only i know that gwaan comes from "go on ". Tank yuh suh much!

[@user-ex9wo4cb3t]

Ive also heard it used such as "wah dem gwaan said?" And stuff like that i may be mixing it up with another word though.

[@ChatPatwah]

Yuh probably heard “wah dem gwain seh?” Which is “What are they going to say?” Totally different word and meaning. 👊🏾
