Comes from
the Jamaican term ‘
Gwan’
This is a word that can be added to the end of another word to either shorten a sentence down or just to give a word more of a creative humour.
Example 1: ‘Goodwan’ could mean ‘Good one’
Example 2: ‘
Chickwan’ could simply mean ‘Chicken’ or ‘Chicken for one’.
Note: ‘Wan’ has to be used correctly for it to make sense! Lol
Friend: “How did your

Friend: “You has anything nice to eat today bro?”
Me: “
Yeah bro I had some
chickwan”
