Max; If you're talking about the "War - chest- er" thing, I sadly say it "Wooster/Woostah." Otherwise no one knows what I'm talking about. :<
We got the weirdest looks when we first moved here before we caught on to the local "language" xD

In Boston we say Woostah and cah(car) and pakh(park). R is pretty much no longer in existence. It's quite sad

Hello by the way

Apparently I say 'House', 'Boat', 'about', and other like words 'wrong'. >_> People from other states crack up when we say something 'about the house boat'.

Ah, I think 'round here, we say it 'War/wor-chest-er'. As for the sauce, I can't pronounce it properly, though mostly because I don't use it anyway. XD

Oh, where abouts did you live before, Lathy? =)

Kandii; Oh, you live near/in Boston too? ;3;
I think one of the funniest things is how it's either T or D they drop up in Maine, but we seem to add on here. xD And hello~ c:

Max; West Coast, Oregon/Idaho. c:

OH! I feel obliged to share this because it's hilarious. And it's hilarious because it's mostly true, sadly.

I think that driving can be very scary, and I personally fear the idiots that are out there, but driving itself is easy to catch onto quick.

I feel like I might be able to handle Boston streets, or at least be prepared for them. Sounds like Spain all over again. Drivers there are SO SCARY. :gonk:

And Lathy, that is hilarious. XD

I have to head to bed, good night guys. c:

I've almost been hit in the crosswalk three times just in my little town. For some reason the people here seem to think that the stop signs are just suggestions. -___-
I had a pair of little old ladies nearly hit me and they gave me a dirty look like it was my fault I was in the crosswalk and they didn't stop at the stop sign.

Suo;
XD Same here, but that's only an issue on the second largest road in town.. I have to cross twice daily, school and back, and no one stops. They added a crosswalk, but people have sped up lol

Rainy; Most of the actual "when's" for the Boston one aren't real either, or most all of the "when we say x we mean y"'s. I still like 'em for laughs. x]

Also, the small town definition for wisconsinites in untrue.. >3> Small towns usually have more bars. This town, for example, has at least six at any given time.
The smallest town I've been in in wisconsin, unincorporated and estimated population of under 100, had two or three bars.. XD you could drive through town and not know you were in a town, except for the cluster of *car shop, *gas station, and *bar*bar*bar. 8D;

Hey everyone!!

*looks at previous conversations*

I am lucky that my university is in the downtown core so there are tons of pedestrians and I never worry about crossing the road.

Bars... I never knew that was a staple of small cities. xD
I have only lived in large cities are suburbs my entire life.

i think the ones about the road, streets, driving, and people being rude are right. when somone smiles at me when im going to work i look at them like their high. when i see a harvard sweatshirt i assume they're a tourist and when i see them actually waiting for ppl to get off the train first b4 they get on. i know the from out of town or strangely polite. but its usually the first
