Very interesting! So does Haole slightly change its meaning depending on
what the speaker thinks about the person it designates? Sounds like a
complicated language!

Most, if not all, languages are context based. The meanings of what is
being said depends on the setting, who is saying the words, how they say
it, and who is reading/hearing/seeing what is being said. This quality
is the reason for the richness of languages. It's also why the language
of humans is such an imperfect form of communication.
The language of machines is pretty much as perfect as humans can make
it. My father-in-law understood programming on the machine level. He had
a lot of difficulty understanding higher level languages like BASIC. The
instructions seemed murky and vague to him. That guy was aspergers
through and through.
The Hawaiian love puns and metaphors. Mostly, they all have to do with
sex.
ISLAND LOVE
"She gonna take me to a place
Where the ferns are scented with rain
There I will taste what brought me back again
Juice from the mango, milk from the coconut
Bud of the cannabis I can't smoke enough
Juice from the mango, milk from the coconut
Taste of the ladies I can't spoke enough"
