12973288, What's up with Jamaicans and 'bomba/blood/ras clot'?

Why do they say that shit so often?
12973291, its the Black equivalent of fuck/muhfucka/muhfuckin, thats all

not in the sense that the meaning is exactly the same... but in the sense that, with subtle changes in enunciation, they can imply different levels of emphasis.

they are basically all purpose words

*bashes thumb with hammer* BLOODclaat!

*expresses humorous surprise* bloodclAAAAAAAt!

i like the hand signal that goes with it....hold your thumb and middle finger together, whip your hand down and then up real quick so that your index finger snaps against the middle finger...i need to use that way more than i do
12973293, I can dig it.

I'm listening to 2 Jamaican barbers chop it up and every other sentence has bloodclot or bombaclot.

I figured it's as you say but wondered if there's a nuance I'm missing.

Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then?
They don't want to call for peace then.
