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: "Ouch, I hit my
toe on the
door"
Moeisha: "Hush, it soon get betta"
Bob: "Why are you telling me to shut up, it really hurts!"
Moeisha: "
Ah never sey fi shut up, mi did sey hush!"
