Jwé
Jwé is a kind of rural music from Saint Lucia, performed informally at wakes, beach parties, full moon gatherings and other informal events, including débòt dances. Jwé uses raunchy lyrics and innuendos to show off verbal skills, and to express political and comedic commentaries on current events and well-known individuals. One well-known technique that has entered Lucian culture is lang dévivé, which is when the singer says the opposite of his true meaning.[1]

gollark: The issue with the websocket protocol-level ping is that neither JS nor CC can actually see if one was received recently, as far as I can tell.
gollark: Yes, skynet does that, but mostly so it can detect disconnected clients itself and obliterate them rapidly.
