Re: $140 debt in Australia but I have moved back to the UK.

Re: $140 debt in Australia but I have moved back to the UK.

Pay it off

Re: Caribbean slang

I've heard Jamaicans say obeah. It must come from the slavery era, since there are Akan (from modern-day Ghana) and Igbo (from modern-day Nigeria) words with similar meanings.
