I'd say the majority of Hawaiian vernacular would make no sense to anyone here. Part of why language is so interesting. I work with a bunch of Euro/Commonwealth fucks from Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia etc, and it's fun to see how they teach English to Korean kids, and how it differs from Americans.
