Can anyone give me a good definition of the word "weakheart"?
I think I know what it means, but I wonder if there are connotations or references that I am missing. Does it have a special meaning for Rastas?
Also, I tried to search for the term using Google and looked at a few online Jamaican English dictionaries and found no entries. I only know the word from a reggae tune or two ("Blood and Fire" especially)-- is the word used in Jamaica?
Also, I have seen the word "patois" spelled "patwa". Is that the normal spelling in Jamaican English? When it is spelled in this way, does it refer to something slightly different?
