Heh, wish I could remember more of what I learned from my ex-husband and his buddies years ago. About the only thing I still remember are all the cuss words. Wink These sites should help you.

Thanks. Yeah it is intresting how the cuss words are always the only thing people remember. I knew a German exchange student in High School and she always said this one word and I still remember it. It was translated to S**T. I never used it but she always said it and nor have I used it since. But I do remember it.

@mtpcarter,
Considering Hawaiian is a dead language except on a small remote island of 120 Natives without electricity, I'm guessing you should just look it up.
