A term of solace used mainly in
Jamaica (not sure about the rest of the Caribbean), meaning - never mind or don't worry. Most people who are not from
Jamaica often misinterpret this to mean - 'shut up', instead of
something comforting, which it's really meant to be :)

Bob: "Why are you telling me to shut up, it really hurts!"
Moeisha: "Ah
never sey fi shut up, mi did sey hush!"
