Think that haole is always derogatory. If whites had a word to call everyone that was non-white, and we used it like haole is used, it would be a hate crime. It is in poor taste.

In reply to Coach. Thanks! I had a full conversation with a guy about playing guitar. He kept saying "I like see" over and over again. I just thought he was lame. Hahaha Glad to know that I was completely wrong and that that is just slang. : )

Thought of a couple more…
“Small kine”
“Moke”
“Choke” — ‘plenty’
“Okole”
“Like/No Like” — ‘want’

And to answer your question… It is important for them to be well-versed in the languages of the other teams throughout the state.

Coach, thanks for the suggestions (if there is a part 3 😉 ). But um, you gotta start expanding that vocabulary of yours! How are you going to be a positive influence and role model for your youthful team shouting out “We go” for a fast break, “mean” on tough defense, or “K-den” when shaking hands after a game.
