I recently received a copy of the book "National study of sexual and
reproductive knowledge and behaviour in Papua New Guinea" (Papua New
Guinea Institute of Medical Research Monograph No. 10, by The
National Sex and Reproduction Research Team and Carol Jenkins, 1994).
Some terms of interest:
nekedim em tru: "fucked up; fucked hard" (pp. 101, 146)
singel fail: "a line-up of men having sex with one woman" (pp. 105, 147)
gumi: "rubber; condom; intra-uterine device" (p. 146)
I have heard "gumi bilong kok" specifically refer to a condom (e.g.,
see http://www.june29.com/HLP/lang/pidgin.html). Is "gumi bilong
kan" ever used for an IUD, or is this just "samting bilong pasim bel"?
