The worst railery they can give a woman is to tell her, she has laid with ten sorts of inferior ranks of People, which they will rather dye than do.

If any thing be stole out of their grounds or Plantations fruit or the like, they will cry out aloud, This was done by some low-cast begotten Rogue, or She was a whore to some inferior rank who dressed it; and this Language they will continue for half an hour together, tho they know not who hath done it.

The worst word they use to Whites and Christians, is to call them Beaf-eating Slaves.
I shall conclude this Discourse of their Language, by giving you a tast of their Proverbs, some hints of the strain of their Speech.
[Proverbs.] Miris dilah, ingurah gotta.

I have given Pepper, and got Ginger.

Spoken when a man makes a bad exchange.
