Bashment (see below)Bashment is a Jamaican word, referring to a reggae dancehall event. 'Bashment Girl' is a young (or not so young) woman who wears rather little in the way of clothing, with miniscule shorts, or 'batty-riders' being generally favoured, along with mucho bling bling fake jewellery. Ideal for showing off when bending over and wiggling your bottom very hard indeed. Or 'wining' as it's called. What it means in the posessive as in 'I'm gonna get me 'nuff bashment' I have no idea. Probably means 'I'm going to go down Roman Road market and buy some unfeasibly small and shiny clothes for a reasonable price'.
