| adrr! gôsy! | 2 right! (to the) ~ "Adrr! Adrr! (To the right! To the right!) ... Gosy! Gosy! Gosy! (To the left! To the left! To the left!)" -- During the French colonial period, some ox-cart drivers, upon crossing path with a vazaha, would yell this revengeful and spiteful expression, while whipping their hapless oxen. Hearing "Addr!", the oxen aimed the oxcart toward the vazaha, who might begin to worry. Hearing "Gosy!", the oxen resumed marching on the right path. |
