Stewps

To Stewps is to make a specific sound - well known to Trinidadians and Tobagonians and possibly other West Indians and some of their friends probably - by clenching one's teeth, pressing one's tongue up against one's teeth - not fully, however, so that some air and saliva may pass - then sucking air and saliva through the passage making an indescribable sound. For the sound to be correct, lips must be pursed (not pressed together as some jackass wrote). The volume of the sound should be directly proportional to level of disgust, dissatisfaction or disagreement felt by the person stewpsin'. Volume control is achieved by adjusting the size of the hole made by one's pursed lips and the velocity of the air and saliva intake and the amount of pressure of the clenched teeth. As mentioned above stewpsin' is used to show disgust, dissatisfaction or disagreement. However it also can translate literally as "kiss my ass." Sometimes stewpsin' is done in feigned or exaggerated disgust, dissatisfaction or disagreement, particular with friends.
