Yes...'you bloodclat' is the direst insult in the rastafarian canon. The translation is 'Bloodcloth' which refers to the item ladies use during that (ahem...) 'difficult' time of the month. During this uh..period, all Rastafarian women are removed from view as they are adjudged 'unclean', hence the dire nature of the 'insult' from a rastafarian male viewpoint. I would advise very careful useage of this term when out and about as a friend of mine found himself in very bad trouble after mentioning it one time in St Pauls, Bristol. Matt.
