The word for "bumper" (or bottom) in the Chamoru language is doggin
(phonetic spelling). Which I think is funny since we all know the head is a
noggin. The kids think it is hilarious that I know that word and tell them
plop on their doggins!
It also makes them think I know more about their language and they don't
"tell secrets" in Chamoru around me. If I know one word, I must know them
all! :-)
Slainte! Guam is 15 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time --
Living' in the future -- ain't Life grand!
