Term referring to those of West Indian descent who have spend years and many more years to come contemplating whether it is indeed chicken curry, or curried chicken.

Trini: Curried Chicken!
Guyanese: Nah! It's Chicken Curry!

XSirocco (1:12:25 PM): i didn't know you all say chicken curry
dularibeti (1:14:31 PM): ya we do
dularibeti (1:14:33 PM): that's the right way
dularibeti (1:14:34 PM): :-X
dularibeti (1:14:41 PM): haha jk
XSirocco (1:14:54 PM): hahah, no it's not it's not even proper English :-)
dularibeti (1:20:17 PM): it's proper hindi
dularibeti (1:20:19 PM): which is where it came from
dularibeti (1:20:20 PM): mister
dularibeti (1:20:30 PM): the syntax
XSirocco (1:20:34 PM): ahem neither "chicken" nor "curry" is Hindi
dularibeti (1:21:05 PM): the syyynnnntaaaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
XSirocco (1:21:11 PM): so if you're gonna use ENGLISH words, you better use ENGLISH syntax :-)
dularibeti (1:21:22 PM): YOU are english syntax
dularibeti (1:21:23 PM): =-O
XSirocco (1:21:31 PM): hehe thanks :-)
dularibeti (1:22:13 PM): chicken curry... is where the chicken acts as the adjective for "curry"
dularibeti (1:22:18 PM): it's the type of curry
dularibeti (1:22:26 PM): "what type of curry?" "chicken curry"
XSirocco (1:22:36 PM): well to me curry is the seasoning
XSirocco (1:22:45 PM): that's like chicken spicy

All throughout this, I'm pasting back and forth to Chris and Larry.. Chris had my back:

Aluball17 (1:23:55 PM): yea
Aluball17 (1:23:57 PM): cause you got
Aluball17 (1:24:00 PM): lamb curry
Aluball17 (1:24:02 PM): duck curry
dularibeti (1:24:04 PM): exaaaccctllyyyy
dularibeti (1:24:07 PM): and "curried" lamb
Aluball17 (1:24:08 PM): i wanna know what kinda curry is being cooked
dularibeti (1:24:09 PM): would be correct
dularibeti (1:24:12 PM): but not curry lamb
dularibeti (1:24:13 PM): mschewww
Aluball17 (1:24:19 PM): not what kinda lamb is being cooked

dularibeti (1:24:48 PM): hahah
Aluball17 (1:24:49 PM): cabage maybe
Aluball17 (1:25:00 PM): alu curry

Pasted the back to Larry and he responded with...

XSirocco (1:27:13 PM): hahaha .. well the chicken is the important part, not the curry .. you can eat chicken made different ways, you can't eat curry made different ways, it's the seasoning, not the meal :-)
XSirocco (1:28:46 PM): and stop trying to "curry" favour with your fellow Guyanese :P
XSirocco (1:28:48 PM): hahaha
dularibeti (1:29:18 PM): hahah
XSirocco (1:30:04 PM): hahaha, it don't matter if it's curry chicken or chicken curry, so long as we have enough .. tastes all the same :-)
dularibeti (1:30:36 PM): maybe all TRINI curry tastes the same
dularibeti (1:30:46 PM): o sorry i mean maybe all curry trini tastes the same
XSirocco (1:31:25 PM): erhmm i mean it's just a name, it's the taste that matters
dularibeti (1:31:50 PM): mmhm

I think that's the smell of a Larry Potter backing down!

So I ask you.. yes you reading this blog...which is correct? Chicken Curry? or Curried Chicken?
And yes, I know I have too much time on my hands.

No, it's not the smell of Larry backing down. It's the smell of the realization that it's the smell of "I have better things to do than to teach the English language." :)

Oh and the second "its the smell of" shouldn't be there obviously. I don't know what happened there.
