Meaning
'Every hoe have him stick a bush' — every hoe has its handle waiting somewhere in the bush. There is a match for everyone, the proverb assures: no matter a person's looks, ways, or station, there is someone out there suited to them, just as every hoe-blade has a stick that will fit it. It is offered as warm, homely reassurance about love and belonging — that even the most unlikely person will find their partner — the Jamaican equivalent of 'every pot has its lid'.
