Caribbean slang for acting extra
Diaspora shade-talk has range: stoosh, kot stail, swel-hedid, hitey-titey. We keep glosses short and label where the word comes from — so you learn without the fake seal.
Why provenance labels matter
NKC means attested via National Kriol Council materials. Cognate means related Caribbean usage. Brand means Hiteytitey creative mark. Mixing those up is how culture-curious content loses trust.
