P.S. I read your introductory post here, and get your name, but every time I see it, I can't help but think "patois" since the two are phonetically pretty much identical. Arg.
hehehe soo true....Guyana (my home country) is the only country in South America that speaks 100% english...mainly cuz of the previous British rule/influence (bastard imperialists...but that arguement is for another day)....anyways....we speak a strong Patois/creole/pidgeon english....but i've lived in Canada for the majority of my life so my Patois only really makes an appearance when i'm totally drunk out of my head
..but I am not sure how the Cichlid got the name 'Patwa'....or if it's even related in any way!
All I can say, the name 'Patwa' is pretty old...i've heard people refer to that fish with that name from day 1.
