Where the words come from

Every answer is an entry in the Patois dictionary. This puzzle draws on: Body, Health & Appearance, Culture, Heritage & History, Descriptions & Emotions, Food & Drink, People & Relationships, Places & Directions, Sports & Games. When you finish, each answer shows its meaning, its pronunciation and an example sentence.

The number in brackets after a clue is the length of the answer, and (3,5) means two words of three and five letters, typed with no space. Patois has no single spelling, so if you type another spelling the dictionary records, it counts.
