Reply #8: I feel your pain, Allen...

As you know, I'm in Fredericksburg, and this phrase is a phenomenon here as well. I HATE it.

There's one from Philly that I always loathed... "Jeet jet?" This is translated as, "Have you eaten yet?" (Didja eat yet?)

Or the ever-popular rejoinder to the last phrase.."Nahju?", which translates to, "No, have you?" (Nah, you?)

Then there's the lovely, "Yooz gon?" which translates to, "Will you people be joining us?" (You's going?)

USE PROPER DICTION, PEOPLE!!
