Regional Phrases

The Bostonian didn't know what a "packie" is?! She can't call herself a Boston native!

We're just brimming with stupid regional shit up here. We "bang a u-ey" when we want to reverse direction. We order grinders ("grindahs") and drink from bubblers ("bub-lahs") which are subs and water fountains respectively.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

We say "jimmies" here in New England. Apparently it's a very racial term.

And American Chop Suey to me is elbows with tomato sauce, onion, peppers, and hamburger mixed in. Goulash has always been for a beef tip kind of stew (a little thicker) in my family. ?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We bang it. Apparently on the west coast, they FLIP it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
