Plenty yagba don fal down pan weLet's say you lose your job, your get sick, and then your closest friend runs off with your ex. You could then say, "plenty yagba don fal down pan me." Or, if you're a local here, and your child is sick, your job pays next to nothing, and you have to take up a second job hauling sand, you could also use the expression. |
