ME? BUMBYE.
After Lei Day (May Day) in Hawaii comes King
Kamehameha 1 Day (June 11), the celebration of the
wamor king who united the Hawaiian Islands early
in the 19th century. We also celebrate Hawaii for her
lively contributions to the language,
including some of our favorite Scrabble
words- aa (rough volcanic lava), oo (an
extinct bird), io (a hawk), and au (a n fa I
swordfish). Less desperate players,
merely inundated with vowels, might
try oio (a bonefish), nwi (a bird), uLu (a
flea), or alala (a crow) “Pidgin
English” is spoken by about half the
population of Hawaii Their “try come is something
like “please,” and “bumbye” resembles “by and by.”
No piJikia, no huhu... (No worries, no
anger...)
vs- Other Scrabble “vowel dumps” include ague, aide, aloe,
auto, beau, ease, eave, oboe, and ouzo.
