Focus Keyword: Bahamian slang Dead Serious

In the Bahamas, when somebody tells you they’re “Dead Serious”, especially during a payment conversation, just know they mean it exactly how it sounds — they’re locked in for real. This phrase shows up everywhere in Nassau, from confirming taxi fares to booking airport transfers to settling on a tour price. And if you ride with us at Rickyluv Bahamas Taxi & Tours, you’ll hear this one all the time.

What “Dead Serious” Means in Bahamian Culture

“Dead Serious” is Bahamian confirmation energy. It means the person is not playing, not guessing, not negotiating — they’re 100% committed. If a traveler says, “I’m dead serious, I need that pickup at 6 AM,” that means the booking is solid. If a local says, “Dead serious, I sending the deposit now,” that means it’s already in motion.
