moke is a word used in hawaii, to describe someone who acts super local; they can be of different racial backgrounds, but mostly hawaiians.
their pidgin is usually heavier; they're like hawaiian macgyvers with their creativity, but their things usually aren't as cool. such as someone i know, who duct taped 2 mcdonalds tray to a piece of ply board, and used it to go grassboarding.
people often mistake mokes for being stupid, but they're not... they just have a different sense of thought; often not caring about things that people might consider important to intelligence, what they do know and know about, they're very smart when it comes to the facts of those.
brah, that moke went kick that haole guy's ass! good thing too, stupid fuckin' haole thought he was better than us cause we speak pidgin. that's one for the mokes brah.
