One of our short catch‑up posts to ensure every new calypso gets its space on Kaiso Dial.
“Mout’ Open, ’Tory Jump Out”—and we’re off to the races. In this instance, we sit back and let the voice of the people tell it like it is. From the moment the fiddle bow drags and la couray buss, Chuck Gordon steps up to deliver the people’s report.
For those visiting this site for the first time or who are just unfamiliar with Trini-Lingo, 'Tory Time is simply story time. "Mout' Open 'Tory Jump Out" is a Trinidad proverb that means as soon as someone starts talking, hidden information or a secret “comes ”out"—often more than they planned or were expected to say.

Trinis pretend they don't want to hear this kind of story, but in reality, they are already prepared with their popcorn. Politics, picong, rum-talk, bad minds, elections, artists—everyone gets a touch-up. Laugh, cry, or cuss if you must, but don’t act surprised… allyuh too mauvaise langue.
Chuck didn’t hold back. Politicians from both sides—red and yellow—get licks. A well-known calypsonian who had one too many and decided to bad-talk the whole art form? He gets called out. Then, there was a shout-out to “The Killa from Trinidad” for his inappropriate posts on YouTube, where he criticized Trini Soca and praised Grenada instead.
This one was salty, saucy, and full of Moruga Scorpion pepper. Chuck Gordon was doing what he does best—delivering truth with sting and style. Now please remember to share this post with your social media contacts and leave your comments here. We really want you to interact with us.
