“Over In Away- Is a term used in Barbados, it is especially used in reference to visitors to the island. There's a certain look and the way in which the individual speaks, that causes the Bajans to refer them as coming from "Over In Away." One may hear a Bajan asks someone with an accent-" You come from over in away? Very common term in the 70's and 80's.” — Charmaine J Forde
