What's a pay party?
One where you have to pay for admission. I don't know what to call it not in Jamaica.

Because books.
I read it as "play party" right away, I think because Tep's talked about them, and my eyebrows shot right up.

I'm guessing a party you have to pay to get into? Lame!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For the people saying that she didn't know what the term actually meant, I'm not really certain how someone could have heard the term and known its usage well enough to know that it sort-of meant "unfounded accusation," but not know where it came from.
