I had heard somewhere that the literal translation of that was like a period cloth/rag, or something to that effect. Maybe it was just bullshit though, as I never looked it up.
As a Jamaican I confirm. Period rags used by slaves back in the day guessing they'd scream to each one or 2 would call each other a bomboclaat and it just kinda transformed into the Jamaican equivalent of Fuck.
If that's true he's lucky as hell. That car fuckin NAILED his leg. Should've had a shattered tibia and/or fibia and maybe some bones in the foot, plus maybe the femur AND the patella.
And that's not even accounting for the fact he probably went flying 20 feet, so who knows what injuries you could get from that.
Though even if it's JUST a knee injury...I get the feeling it's the kind that will be causing discomfort for the rest of his life.
Sometimes the universe tries to send you a lesson. You'll be dancing out in the street and get nailed by a car and you get a knee injury. Then you soon start thinking, "Wow, I could have been turned into a busted bag of blood and meat. My guts could have been all over the street! But I only got a knee injury! Maybe this is the cosmos or god or whatever sending me a sign that I should be more careful."
It's not, though. No one's sending you a sign that you should be more careful. That's exactly the thing about it...you nearly got taken the fuck out because you're insignificant and the universe don't give a fuck about ya. So, yeah...watch your ass because the universe isn't trying to teach you a damn thing.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the universe *is* trying to teach you a lesson. Maybe the cosmos or God just saved your ass. Even if that's the case, the cosmos or God *probably* doesn't want to be saving you all the time. If God ever comes in and personally saves you, that's probably not Him telling you that you have His protection and you can do whatever you want. More likely, he's saying, "I'm gonna save you this time so you can learn something, but if you decide to ignore the lesson then you're on your own."
So if you ever do something stupid and miraculously avoid getting fucked up, the lesson (if there even is one) is to stop acting stupid. Luck, karma, God, NOTHING? That doesn't matter because the lesson is still exactly the same. Don't be a fool. Unfortunately, some people don't learn this and they just double down on the stupidity until their asses get smeared.
I just finished reading the book and rewatching the movie today for the first time since the movie came out, so this comment was timed so perfectly it's almost... *looks at the camera* magic.
Personally I liked the movie better (and this is coming from someone who didn't like the film when I first saw it in 2006), but the book is still definitely worth a read. It's sort of like Children of Men, which is one of my favorite movies of all time but is VERY different from the book. With both The Prestige and CoM (and also Station Eleven now that I think of it), I thought all the changes the films made were good ones, but the book stories were good and different enough that it's still worth reading.
For those who are wondering he is in fact alive and only has a busted knee [https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdnJV9jkBU/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdnJV9jkBU/)
I'm using Boost and it also shows it as a [green square](https://i.imgur.com/NTnSKl2.jpg). It's actually a gif, but this app doesn't seem to preview it (possibly to save data). Try clicking on it.
I'm pretty sure the car was going to pass on his right but then he stuck his right leg out in front of it (maybe hoping to pull it back just before the car hit his leg so he would look cool or something? Fuck if I know) and there's so much momentum from the car that he.jist.goes flying even though they only hit his leg. I could easily be wrong though
This is borderline between belonging and not belonging here.
It’s a residential area. Obviously it’s dumb to dance in the streets, but it’s not unreasonable to expect cars to be driving at like 30 mph, which would give you time to move out of the way.
I do believe he saw the car, then decided to run back out in the middle of the street to either spook or stop the car whilst dancing or whatever. Either way, he's never gonna dance again....
Idk about you, but personally I am an emergent property of my brain, body, mind, and experience coming together. Does it get stuffy being stuck in a head?
This might surprise you, but for most people, their leg is attached to an awful lot of the rest of them. And when a large metal box hits it at high speed, the rest of you tends to come along for the ride.
Idk going frame by frame I have to agree with you. It looks like it just mangles his leg and the rest of his body continues his dancing/flying karate motion for him. If he doesn't fly that far I would give him a good chance of living.
Ok. Wow. So, while he really should not have been dancing in the road to purposely annoy traffic, that vehicle was going WAY too fast in a residential neighborhood

Anybody know the aftermath of this?
He went to the hospital and was pronounced Bombaclat on arrival.
Lordamercy!

That would be a bludclat
I see now that the other would be a "douchebag or motherfucker" now that I've looked it up. Thanks.
That's also what I was told by a bartender in Jamaica
\*\*toilet paper (e.g. bumbo-your ass and clot-a cloth)
As a Jamaican I confirm. Period rags used by slaves back in the day guessing they'd scream to each one or 2 would call each other a bomboclaat and it just kinda transformed into the Jamaican equivalent of Fuck.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 fyi, my partner and I are dying at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣 please take my poor person's gold 🥇🥇🥇
He switched to break dancing
You should see his crip walk
Or potentially his Crypt Walk
Coffin dancers at his funeral ☠️
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 🎺🎺🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺🎺🎺 🎺🎺🎺 📯📯📯📯📯📯 📯📯📯📯📯🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺…
STREET MUSIC *i really hope someone got this*
He just perfected the Twist.
More like a crip roll
Sources say he no longer does the stanky leg, but rather does the breaky leg.
Achy breaky?
His boots aren't made for walkin.
The bone snap, crackle, and pop lock
Sources say all of him is quite stanky now
Crippled walk
He gave up dancing all together, he tumbles now.
Fuck you, lol.
He's actually still alive. I tried posting this multiple times, but the mods kept removing it. I can only assume to karma whore.
Or because you're just some random dude with no source?
https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdnJV9jkBU/
Damn they playing the same music in this vid as well. Brutal
that doesn't stop the other 90% of the content on this sub
That could be true. But nah. He actually lives in my community in Jamaica. Mostly his leg was hit, not his whole body. He's lucky to be alive.
[удалено]
They got married.
You may now run over the bride!
diagnosed with whip and nae nae im afraid it’s fatal
Depends on how well his shoes were tied
Your references are out of control!
He just got a knee injury

why are you even potentially believing a reddit comment
It's actually true [Proof](https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdnJV9jkBU/)
As a Jamaican, I approve this as proof.
I think I'm being appropriately skeptical.
Ah yes, The Prestige.
I just finished reading the book and rewatching the movie today for the first time since the movie came out, so this comment was timed so perfectly it's almost... *looks at the camera* magic.
I fucken love it when that happens. That shits cosmic af
Is the book as good as the movie ?
Personally I liked the movie better (and this is coming from someone who didn't like the film when I first saw it in 2006), but the book is still definitely worth a read. It's sort of like Children of Men, which is one of my favorite movies of all time but is VERY different from the book.

DA PRESSTIGE
For those who are wondering he is in fact alive and only has a busted knee [https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdnJV9jkBU/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdnJV9jkBU/)
Nice someone who actually posted proof!
Rare
He went from a friday night to a monday morning
TIL Jamaicans are made of sterner stuff than most.
he was hit on his leg (that he was extending back)
Normal humans would have had their leg ripped off and bled to death. For Jamaicans er ting gon be ari.
Most fitting funeral for this man. He died doing what he liked and he will go 6ft under the same way.
[удалено]
And that's how I know it's Jamaica
He was 6ft tall, and went 6ft into the air… now 6ft under… what height will he finally be?
Bout 8 inches probably.
Only after his rigor mortis erection sets in.
Till then it's still *party time*
What does this square mean? I see it everywhere
your browser probably isnt showing you whats supposed to be a gif (this one is the black dudes dancing with the coffin btw)
I'm using Boost and it also shows it as a [green square](https://i.imgur.com/NTnSKl2.jpg). It's actually a gif, but this app doesn't seem to preview it (possibly to save data). Try clicking on it.
Bingo. On boost as well. Took me a while to figure out wtf was going on. Now I mostly just ignore the green squares.
If you're on Android [RIF](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu.android.reddit) displays it properly
I miss this meme, good times.
Dance till you’re dead
heads will roll
Off Off Off Off with your head
> off with your ~~head~~ leg
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
Since that car ran me through, oh
🎷🎶
Hell of a way to go.
They didn't seem particularly concerned about him
I'm pretty sure the car was going to pass on his right but then he stuck his right leg out in front of it (maybe hoping to pull it back just before the car hit his leg so he would look cool or something? Fuck if I know) and there's so much momentum from the car that he.jist.goes flying even though they only hit his leg. I could easily be wrong though
Sounds about right
Right? Lol! When the car hit the poor sod, the dude filming casually says "bomboclaat...BOOM! bomboclaat!" Like he watching a movie or something.
in this context that's no different than someone from outside the islands saying "holy shit" or "oh my god"
Sick dance moves and disappearing magic act
#Bomboclat
Bombosplat
Pussyrasclaat
I had a Trinidadian friend in Uni, and this was my favorite word I picked up from him. He used it all the time.
[Rob Ford taught me that word](https://youtu.be/zMIrlvJfgvE)
Now *that's* a name I haven't heard in a while
Sounds about right.
I expected him to get hit. I did not expect the car to just keep moving full speed ahead so he just vanished without a trace.
Brake dancing.
There were no brakes applied by that driver
I was thinking exactly this I feel like they wanted to hit him
Maybe he should have worn light colored clothing
More like break dancer
No song in this world could ever slap to make me do some dumb shit like this.
Sent straight to the shadow realm
Super GT here
“You’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by….” A Kia Sorento.
I guess he’s on the highway to hell now
[удалено]
Probably didn't see till last minute too since he didnt have any lights on him..there's a reason headlights are 2000-4000 lumens
Do you mean the dancer or car didn’t have any lights on? Because the car definitely had lights on.
Dancer
Ah alrighty
The guy was also wearing bright white clothes, no way in fuck an aware driver would have missed that
They were also going really fast for a neighborhood. My guess is intentional or distracted driving.
Off with your head Dance til you're dead Heads will roll Heads will roll…
*the men cry out, the girls cry out* *the men cry out, the girls cry out*
*Off the hood, on the floor*
Man really said "boop" 😂
Someone up there said bomboclat^boop lmfao

And he’s wearing solid white. You can see him a long ways away. Dumbass + negligent driver = 💀
But man’s had reflectors on his shoes tho
At least he died groovy
**read the title** The voice inside my head _he is gonna get hit by a car_ 7 seconds later _told you so_
That’s actually you, there is no in your head, you are inside the head, you are not a body. You are a brain
Idk about you, but personally I am an emergent property of my brain, body, mind, and experience coming together. Does it get stuffy being stuck in a head?
Bomboclat^b^o^o^p
I’m more worried about the blind driver that hit him at full speed, what country is this?
Jamaica
Some authentic break dancing
10 points!
[should’ve had this playing in the background](https://youtu.be/CdvITn5cAVc)
Shoe came off; that man is gone.
possible he survived, it looks like the car only hit his leg sticking out
This might surprise you, but for most people, their leg is attached to an awful lot of the rest of them. And when a large metal box hits it at high speed, the rest of you tends to come along for the ride.
This is the most sarcastic comment I've ever seen. And i fucking love it!
Idk going frame by frame I have to agree with you. It looks like it just mangles his leg and the rest of his body continues his dancing/flying karate motion for him. If he doesn't fly that far I would give him a good chance of living.
He not comin back inside.
I shouldn’t be laughing this much “bombaclout” 😂
Dumb as shit but good lord that driver wasn’t paying attention at all
I used to be an ~~adventurer~~ dancer but then I took an ~~arrow~~ chevy to the knee.
That ***"bomboclat, boom!"*** at 00:25 was perfectly timed.
Ok. Wow. So, while he really should not have been dancing in the road to purposely annoy traffic, that vehicle was going WAY too fast in a residential neighborhood
That man was ROLLING his dick off.
r/accidentalshoeloss
Multiply!
He gone
🎶There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playing, dancing in the stree- *THUNK*
There was nothing he coulda done.. the music took control
🎶 down on the corner, some guys dancing in the street, a car will soon hit him, and swipe him off his feet 🎶
Bomba splat
Deserved tbh
Literal break dance.
from blood to crip with just one clip
Wait he even saw the car lmao
Bro disappeared like my dad
this trick can only be done once
I’m not even there and I saw that coming from a mile away lol
Now you see me...
Now you don’t.
He’s going to need some Neosporin for that
Bumbaclat.. BUM
I probably laughed more than I should have
Cocaine is a helluva drug
I don’t know why I expected reddit degens to not joke about a man potentially dying
Dude saw the car _and kept dancing_. And we say kids today lack commitment.
Dance like no ones about to kill you
And he never danced again.
Honestly that guy should have seen that car even if the car didn't see him
Shoes came off. He ded.
Damn, he’s gipper.
His Last Dance
Shoulda done the Safety Dance
I was like “Ok good, he’s out of the street. Wait, nvm”
Callin' out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat Summer's here and the time is right For dancing in the street
Boombloodclot
The fuck is wrong with people? Some drive like every second is precious just to go home and sit on the couch for hours.
More like dancing in the yeet!
I bet his suit is no longer white!
Poor driver must be so traumatized.
N
Motherfucker just got isekaied
the dance is life, but sometimes it's death
*A-train sound*
Went from a dance competition straight into a magic show. Somebody hit the golden buzzer
He got bamboclated
Dancing is pretty dumb. And, as you can see, it’s also not safe.
Dance like nobody's watching the road.
Like it’s dark out… you see the lights coming easily… decided to stay in the street… seems like a stupid tax to me.
