Wherein we ask each other dialect questions we don't quite understand

We use trash: trashing someone's idea, trash talking.

Hmm, "trash talking" seems more "talking down" or "dissing" someone.

Calling something rubbish seems more like calling it nonsense.

I would put calling someones idea rubbish a way of trash talking them, but only one of many ways.

Thx!

Tom, it involves canniboids.

Haha, which is now possible in places here in the US.

Adding the raw plant seems odd, but can't you add oils/extracts to achieve the desired effect?

Thx!

I worked with a lot of Jamaicans and Trinis for about 5 years so I might have a shot at it, if he wasn't the whitest guy in the world. I'll try.

"Watch me for a minute now." - Pay attention/listen
"What's the scene" - what's up/what's going on
"I know you're getting to banker right now" (?) - (I don't have a bloody clue about that one; can only think of something I've hear the odd Brit say, "banker" = "a sure thing")
"sounding real doltish, ent" - sounding really stupid, no?
"aye aye" - hey hey
