Should I tiptoe around the expression "sou sa"?

I don't see why you should.

Sou sa (expression) → to be aroused, to be interested, to be in a pleasant mood, to be willing.

Ask me anything

    Ou mete m sou sa. (common Creole expression)
    You turn me on.

    Mwen sou sa aswè a.
    I'm "on fire" tonight.

    Anpil moun manje lanbi po mete yo sou sa.
    Many people each conch to to excite their sexual desire.


    Haitians have also used the expression "sou sa" to mean "asking for trouble/it/something"

    One person may tell another who is being a pain in the butt:
    Ou sou sa eh!
    You're asking for it!
