  • "Puinsai"

    I must not be truly local. For years, I have seen car stickers saying "Puinsai" and I don't know what it means. Somebody help!

                      It's a historical ... or hysterical..fact..that
                      Hawaiian Creole English .. pidgin to us guyz,
                      like most languages have words and phrases
                      with layered meanings.

                      To wit, "Puinsai" has several meanings, note-
                      worthy of course, is the one with the sexual
                      connotation.

                      While not being a expert in the Hawaiian
                      language by any means, I found some fascinating
                      reading in Mary Kawena Pukui's
                      "Olelo No'eau" which contain vast renderings
                      of Hawaiian proverbs and poetical sayings that
                      are both profound, enlightening, and humorous.

                      For those of Hawaiian descent and those
                      who have an intrest in things Hawaiian, it
                      is a treasure of proverbial and poetical sayings,
                      an heirloom to be passed on to their children
                      and their children's children.

                      For even those who casually examine it,
                      you will find it a volume of beauty, showing
                      the knowledge, compassion, foibles, and humor
                      of the Hawaiian people.

                      It's printed by Bishop Museum Press and
                      can be found at amazon.com

                      Now excuse me 'cuz me and Lurkah going on one
                      punani patrol...and maybe poke squid
                      tonite
                      "I was going call 911 ...but I neva know da numbah"
