A different word for everything and its still English

There is a book called 'Cote ci Cote la'.
It is a dictionary of local slang and sayings. The book is very diverse because of the cultural diversity of Trinidad.

One word that isnt in the book is 'wrecked' (probably because its not that strange a word in the Commonwealth). I like the word.

This is an ad that was in the paper awhile back.
It doesnt mean they take your illegally parked car and trash it - although there are a lot of cars on the road that should be.

It is because tow trucks down here are called wreckers.
