I got this idea from Scene’s last blog post.
Only a few weeks ago I saw the Mint from Diana with the word that I, and everybody in Trinidad and Tobago have been saying (in bold and red) more than usual, Steups. Because of this, I decided to give Diana’s Steups some free ad space for understanding the mood of the nation better than any politician alive today. I also dedicate this blog post to those who make us feel no National Pride but only Steups instead.

That isn’t a Photoshopped mint? Brilliant! As is your list! I could add a few more but don’t want to depress myself. Steups.
Weird, but I read Colum Imbert as “Colon Imbert”.

Nope, it’s the real thing and available wherever people “steups” – try the supermarket and Parliament
