1. Sorry to hear the Townie was buried under a threshold that long. He must be flat out hungry.

2. !!!!!!!!!!!!

You sound like you're from Charlestown!

[HERVEPA]

3. Nah, Philadelphia.

[graywarrior]

4. Same strain....lol

[HERVEPA]

5. No. I am highly refined.

I even remember to pronounce H2O as "wahter" rather than "wooder" when I am out of town.

6. Yabut, youse guys say youns...I know, I worked with a Philly girl.

She also smoked Virginia Slims. We fought every day at work.

7. You're talking about the South Philly strain of Fuldufyuns.

I never said youse in my life.

A perticulary local waty of asking and answering on the question as to whether one has partaken of food recently:

jeet?
no jew?

Please, no one take this an ethnic/religious insult. It's not related at all.

8. Youns! or yuns!

Youse is MA. get with the program!

We say the same thing here: jeet? no jew? Plus, we don't even talk...we just point in some random direction and we're all on the same page.

9. "youse" is very South Philadelphian! Maybe MA too, but definitely S. Philly.

Pointing is not refined. We don't do that in this locale.

10. No....grunting is more your style

Grunting is refined amongst the upper crust cave people of Philly.

11. No yunz in Philly

That's Pittsburgh.

Now go red up that room.

12. Should I bang a left, right or a U-ee?
