Fijian Engrish: Croatian

Asked to usher a play last Friday. Was being briefed by the duty operations manager, Jamal, on how to handle the event. Jamal's Fijian-Indian by the way, and a bit difficult to understand.


Jamal: So Ants just make sure that if there is a Croatian, lead them all out of the door.
Tuny: Uhh... (Tama ba dinig ko??)
Jamal: Are you OK mate? Croatians are easy here, just make sure they don't come back inside.
Tuny: (Huh? Ano ba ito, tinawag na akong langgam, eh napaka-racist pa!) Errr... OK, whatever you say, but how do I know if they are Croatians?
Jamal: What do you mean? If you hear the fire alarm and see the emergency lights switch on, there is a Croatian....
Tuny: Ahhh.. You mean an Eva-Croatian...
Jamal: Yeah, why? What did you think???

Err, wala (Nyark-nyark-nyark...)
