Without even realizing what it was, Jojo spoke in this year’s prevailing college creole: Fuck Patois. Here are some quick “Fuck Patois” and “Shit Patois” paragraphs that stand out from the text: It wasn’t a major part of the theme/plot of the book, but I found his musings on the “fuck patois” and “shit patois” interesting especially since, for those of you familiar with my own writing, the military and veterans, have their own special usage of “fuck patois” and “shit patois.” I wasn’t familiar with the term “patois” and had to look up the definition: “ the dialect of the common people of a region, differing in various respects from the standard language of the rest of the country.” One thing that he kept repeating throughout the book though, was the term “Fuck patois,” in relation to the language that young college-aged folks use nowadays (also “shit patois”).
