Jamaican slang for "lesbian". Equinox ◑ 17:46, 8 May 2010 (UTC) Trinidad and Tobago slang for lesbian or the act of lesbianism. Eg. Mary makes zamie with Jane, or Jane is a zamie queen. Both of which would suggest that Jane is a lesbian.
- If it does exist, then it's from French les amies where the s is pronouned /z/. I have some Jamaican relatives, although most of them have lived their whole life over here, plus homosexuality is not really the first thing you want to talk about with Jamaicans.

- It's in Green 1998 (the huge slang dictionary), marked W[est] I[ndies]; and the Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage has "zamie-girl" meaning "lesbian", marked Trin[idad]. But actual uses seem to be vanishingly rare on the web. Ƿidsiþ 06:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
