I dropped off an underwater camera at Costco one hour photo. Could the pictures be ready early? I needed to pick Son1 up from Awana Cubbies. The lady told me to swing by when I was "pau" (pronounced pow) shopping. I smiled as I walked away. When we leave the island, I will miss Hawaiian slang.
Pau means all done. When your child finishes eating...you ask, "All pau?" A waiter or waitress might ask the same thing of an adult before clearing plates. And after shots, the nurse says, "All pau!"
And when the work day is done, you're "pau hana."
And this post, well it's ALL PAU!
