    Me who understands history:
    Duh?
    Modern Jamaica is a melting pot of so many cultures from all the people that settled there in such a short period.
    Particularly from the Africans, British, Chinese/Indian indentured servants, and the original Irish, who were actually first used as slaves in the Caribbean until it was obvious they couldn’t handle the hot tropical climate as they kept dying. The term “Barbadosed” was used within Ireland during the 17th century to describe the act of getting sent to the West Indian penal colonies as “indentured servants”.

    Comes from the Irish “eejit” =idiot/fool.

      Wouldn’t see it’s misinformation since it’s one of the concluded information there are multiple suggestions on how Jamaicans learned patois Irish is one of them. But there is no concrete evidence on how they learnt it and the reason why Irish is one of them is because Africans and indentured servants married each other and mingled with each other and some worked with each other. For example my 5 great grandparent is Scottish and he married african slave and had descends. And mix race children married Irish. So cases of these happening is not odd.
