Unironically, apparently some African and/or Caribbean communities do communicate using the spoken form of this…

Kind of pointless having it written, though, because that’s generally not how Pidgins work…

But yeah, this is targeted at minority “diaspora” communities in the UK, and, well, those populations I mentioned in their countries of origin…

It is legit, it’s just… Of dubious merit, and very easily mocked, lol.
