Not junk per se but bulky and disorganised personal effects.

I live in Florida but my mom was born in Jamaica, and I was really using this word in casual conversation with friends for so many years and none of them told me that they had never heard of it before. I had no idea it was not a well known word lmao.

Corouches usually refers to junk, but not always literally. For instance, a person travelling with a lot of bags may describe those bags as corouches. It can be an offensive way to refer to people’s things, so to keep the peace, it’s best used to jokingly refer to your own belongings.

I didn’t want to bring all my carouches to my new house.

Various items or personal belongings not important enough to be mentioned individually.
