Hilarious Hawaii September 09, 2020 Megan Shute What are the funniest memes about Hawaii?  It’s a known fact that Hawaii locals are among the least stressed American residents, and while some of that happiness can be attributed to the gorgeous beaches, laidback Aloha vibes, and tropical weather, we certainly think it helps that we’re able to laugh at ourselves every once in a while. After all, a good joke about the astronomical cost of living or the insane traffic on H-1 westbound during rush hour(s) makes us all feel a little better. While you’ll certainly discover funny memes about every American state on the Internet, there is something about these 17 Hawaii memes that locals will undoubtedly find downright hilarious. Do Hawaii locals experience any collective awkward moments?  Awkward moments are undoubtedly a part of life, regardless of where you live. But when you live in the most isolated population center on earth — the Hawaiian Islands — you’re sure to encounter awkward encounters that are entirely unique from those you’ll find elsewhere across the world. I’m sure most Hawaii locals can relate to these uncomfortable, and perhaps slightly funny, situations. Are there any silly sayings common in Hawaii?  The Hawaiian Islands are unique in more ways than anyone can count — and that includes our language, vocabulary, and local diction. While most people from Hawaii don’t have an accent, per se, there are a variety of words and phrases from the Hawaiian language that are still frequently used today, and that might leave visitors a little confused, to say the least. From modern slang to Pidgin terms, you’ll only hear these 12 (somewhat) silly sayings in Hawaii.
