You know you’re fijian when…

Via Facebook comes this handy checklist to see if you know you’re fijian. Here’s a few pointers, and if you raise your eye brows and say “Trues up”, then you know you’re it :)

1) Your parents talk soo damn loud on the phone..but yet they dont realize it.

2) You been to a lovo in some1′s backyard.

3) You see someone you know more than 10 feet away, rather than just waving, or nodding, you yell “OYE!” at the top of your lungs.

4) You go out to a birthday party/function in your nice Bula Dress/Shirt and your Flip Flops. (Guilty as charged)

5) You watch re-runs of past Rugby Sevens tournaments.

The list is quite long, and I found myself nodding my head in amazement. I mean, when you use “Off the light” as part of your vocab for god knows how long, it’s only when it’s pointed out that the english isn’t quite correct then do you realize how funny it is. Have a go yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    LMAO….some of this is soo sooooo true! and yes, some of them made me cringe…but I think the bulk of it is referring to Fijian people of Indian descent (hows that for political correctness).

    ok set, imma go off the light now..hehe
