The very first post on the thread gave this definition.
In the Bahamas, Cutta is used to label any side-woman or sweetheart a Bahamian man may have. Cuttas are used for one thing, casual sex, which is called cuttin. There is no love involved, eye contact is strictly prohibited and afterwords the cutta must find her way home.
Cuttas may be obtained by setting a trap, using a thigh snack from the popular Bahamian restaurant, Bamboo Shack & a $5 phone card.
Optional ways to drive a cutta is to be in possession of a honda or maxima.
Guy 1: Yeah bey, i just come from dealin with a cutta.
Guy 2: For real? who, takisha? You give her a thigh snack again ehh?
Guy 1: Yeah jedd, that was a $5.50 well spent, if you catch my drift!"
Now I am sure there was some small modicum of satire and sarcasm in that answer, but the more I read it I realized that it was 100% truth and a very candid and honest answer.
What have we come to? I remember while growing up you would hear stories about young women who you could carry to burger king or pepper pot and that was all that was required to get some action. The young women in question back then were classed as hardcore 'jungaliss'. Now it seems that this is the in thing to do - it would almost seem that if you are refereed to as a cutta, it would be a badge of pride!
God help us if this generation of cuttas are supposed to carry us into the future.
In this STD laden climate, why is all this casual sex going on. Anyone remember the UNAIDS 2010 Global Report...here is an excerpt...
"In The Bahamas there were an estimated 6,600 people living with HIV in 2009. This figure is up from 5,900 recorded in 2001. The UNAIDS figure is an estimate. The range of possible infections in The Bahamas in 2009 is from 2,600 to 11,000 people, said the report."
Think about that for a second or two... In 2010 there were possibly 11,000 people walking around with HIV.
Some people would argue that these so called cutta's are practicing safe sex. If that was the case why do we have all these single young mothers in our land. Here is another thought - would you knowingly have PROTECTED sex with someone that is HIV positive (since we have all this confidence in safe sex)
As an aside I don't understand how anyone would be having sex without protection in this day and age. It is like having a gun with one loaded bullet and playing a game of Russian roulette. 5 chances to commit suicide.
What does the future look like for these so called cuttas? Not bright I tell you. Unfortunately due the the social degradation of our society - there will always be men available to service these so called cuttas...and there will always be cuttas - young girls who want those fancy things in life and the easiest way to obtain them is to become a cutta!
The disintegration of social values in our society is very disturbing, but not surprising. From what I have seen the worst is yet to come....
Where are the parents teaching their sons and daughters to treat each other with respect? Where are the teachers who aren't afraid to defend their choice of disciplinary action against parents who can't see past their "good child"? Society likes to say that this generation gone to the dogs but who raised US? Who taught us our manners? Who laughed when their kid say shit and thought the little mini skirts were cute and gave their 2-year-olds Heineken?
ReplyDeleteIf cutta's momma wasn't tryna be her daughter's friend or saying that it was okay for her to have a boyfriend that's out of school because he gave her money, she might not be selling herself for a thigh snack and blue mystic.
