Haitian Barista Coffee Special

The act of unconsensually serving your hairy balls that were dipped inside the urine and excrement filled toilet water to your despised roommate while he snores mouth wide open on the living room couch.
After running in to the bathroom to surrender myself to the Shit gods, I couldn’t stop but hearing the irritating sound of my cunt roommate sleeping on the couch. It was at this point I gazed between my thighs to realize it was time to finally deliver a Haitian Barista Coffee Special to my intrusive roommate.

Haitian necktie

This is where somebody who does not agree with the current regime in Port of Prince Haiti is taken to a busy intersection of town and has a used tire fixed around their neck, and then that tire is doused with gasoline, and set on fire, thus killing the regime hater.
François was so anti-Duvalier that he was given a Haitian necktie.

Haitian Goodbye

The act of putting powdered jello in her navel, then peeing into her navel, and while it solidifies doing the reverse cowboy banging her tits and rubbing your taint on her nose. Once the navel shot is gelatinous, the man sucks out the belly button molded Jell-O shot and then calls a Lyft to go home.
I gave Sandra the best Haitian goodbye before going to the airport to fly to France and joining the French Legionaires.
