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!

These:
Can someone please translate the Trinidad phrases he used to address the people in "[video=youtube;DnDPI5z7LdY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnDPI5z7LdY[/video]".
 

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
