TRAVEL TIPS Native tongue The islands of the Bahamas are predominantly English-speaking, although like any country, the native inhabitants have their own slang. Photographer Chris Rose wondered what a "shine pack" was when fresh fish was presented to be cooked. It's aluminum foil (also known as "ferl") packages to bake or grill the fish. You'll likely be greeted as "Chief" or "General." You'll fish in the "Great Blue River." And when going to a party you'll be "Spillygatin" and "dress down to a fowl feather " (dress up). The taxi driver will be there "terreckly" and you will "reach" (arrive) at your destination, but if it's "jam up" (too crowded) the driver will "back back" (go in reverse) to get you home. But you know all of this if you are "True True" (a native of the islands). www.aopa.org/pilot AOPA PILOT | 61http://www.aopa.org/pilot
