Ho bra, that guys nutz! Last time I seen him he was all jagalag(drunk) and was pass out cold in the bushes.

You still over with your mother guys?'(re: living with your mom. So this big local Hawaiian guy sees an old friend in a parking lot and says 'Ho bruddah, howzit!' (they smash a hand shake between their chests with a hug and a slap on the back) 'I never see you plenty long time.
