While kicking back relaxing in Jamaica on the beach, one day, in Negril, I thought to myself, self "Relaxing in Jamaica is probably the best I have ever found." While chatting with some Jamaicans, who speak Patois, a language of words or ideas put together to form a full sentence. What word describes this relaxing in Jamaica?
Thinking about this, I had to think of a word that described what I was doing and feeling. So I came up with the short version of "Relaxing in Jamaica", and I called it "JaLaxing".
The phrase was born, November 20, 2022, Sunday, on the beach in Negril, while drinking a Red Stripe. It was a great day, irie.
I told my Jamaican friends about it and they never heard of it but liked it, while smiling and laughing. I mentioned to other people there too, Americans and Canadians. They had the same reaction. One of them said you should post it on twitter. I said I emailed myself. So I decided to coin the phrase and buy the domain.
“It Irie”. Which means everything is okay, first class or excellent.
