Since leaving the island many years ago I have not heard these names mentioned concerning furniture in my home.
What are some of the names of furniture that you used to have as a child but it is not mentioned where you are now?
Let me start:
The watnot -
The breakfront -
The Buff-et - although this word may be french and the E-T and the may be pronounced "long A", the Jamaicans pronounced this et...let let. Hence this was called the Buff-et.
This was usually a piece of furnitute which had crockery on display in the home.
