A + verb (no gerund)

Jamaican dialect usage

Origin

Old English pronoun + verb.

Eg.

We a-walking to school. Reminiscent of Shakespeare's stylistic poetry.

(Extract from an Appalachian English song)

On the Seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me. Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying.

(Extract from a nursery rhyme ca. 1905)
I saw the ship a-sailing, a-sailing on the sea, and oh!It was all laden, with pretty things for thee!

Influenced modern day Patois slang.

This usage fell into disuse in modern English and is now regional or dialectal. A similarity in usage can be noted in the European Portuguese language structure.

A + verb (no gerund)

We a walk to school.

She a talk to all of them.

When you a leave let me know.

geojunk

The stuff people put in geocaches. Trinkets that have little to no intrinsic value but are traded out by geocachers when they find a cache. The sport of geocaching often includes finding a cache of geojunk and tradition says that you take an item and leave an item. Those items are, more often than not, geojunk. Typical items are keyrings, wooden nickels, etc.

"Are you ready to go geocaching?" "I'll be right with you as soon as I grab my bag of geojunk".
