Dem is de Free Loader Crew, de ones who does show up fuh every lime and neva, not once, buy a round ah drinks or even a lil cutters.

De story guh like dis: You and yuh crew pull up at de usual spot, ready fuh a nice lil time. Everybody tekkin turns buyin’ a round—good vibes all around. But den, there’s Mr. Cheap Skate, or as dem boys like fuh call he, Mr. Full Belly No Wallet. Dis man does arrive early, ready fuh de fun. He deh deh, grinnin’ from ear to ear, shoutin’ “Cheers!” louder dan anybody else. But when de time come fuh reach in he pocket, he does behave as if he was not there..

Dis man got skills, man. He does dodge de bill like a pro. Is like he wallet always on vacation, sippin’ a coconut water in some far-off paradise. And when de bill come, he suddenly remember he got a urgent call to mek, or worse yet, he does got de perfect timing fuh a bathroom break. By de time he come back, de bill done pay and he all smile, seh’n, “Oh, y’all too good to me!”

De funniest ting is, even though everybody know he tricks, dem boys still invite he every time. Maybe it’s because he got jokes, or maybe dem just enjoy de show he does put on, dodgin’ and duckin’ like he in a action movie.
