raasclaat

This has both a Jamaican Creole section and an English section labeled as "Jamaican". I undid the removal of the English section by an IP before I realized what they were doing, but I don't want to revert myself and take it off the radar before someone else has a look at it to make sure the English section really is unnecessary.

A few of the quotes look like Patwa. But the others suggest that the word is used and generally understood by English speakers. Our -claat words are popular in Hip Hop music and are often used by African Americans (among others). I'd keep the English section. — Dentonius 08:03, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I testify that it is correct to have an English section because of widespread use in Multicultural London English, and the pronunciation section is correct. This is also true for bloodclaat and bumboclaat. I.e. while “normal” Britons say bloody many of them new English say bloodclaat instead, and raasclaat. Fay Freak (talk) 11:07, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
