Picong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the municipality in the Philippines, see Picong, Lanao del Sur.

Picong or Piquant is light comical banter, usually at someone else's expense. It is a way Trinidadians and Tobagonians heckle and mock each other in a friendly manner. However, the line between humor and insult is fine and constantly shifting, and at times the convivial spirit may degenerate into more heated debate and perhaps, physical altercations. The ability to engage in picong without crossing over into insult is highly valued in Trinidadian culture.ja:ピコン
