Overhead on radio this morning, this is a compilation of Uniquely Singaporean phrases from the old school that we don't hear in modern Singapore:
1. You confirm come, guarantee chop
2. Your grandfather road is it?
3. Pattern more than badminton
4. Ya ya papaya
5. You ownself do lor
6. Napshot kali pok
7. Gabra like zebra
8. You think I thought, who confirm?
9. You ask me, I ask who?
10. You see me no up, is it?
11. Can also can, cannot also can
12. Yellow yellow dirty fellow, green green eat dustbin

This might be more interesting if you included the sense of the -ism in plain English. These seem like nonsense to me.
Sorry for the late reply Uncle Bill.
I apologise for not being able to translate some of these -isms for you due to my limited understanding of them too. I'm still trying to figure them out. But these are priceless gems from the radio talkshow that I listen to in the past - will let you know when I figure out what all of that means.
Cheers
