LOL My last site visit for a band trip to Philly, I had to learn this 'lingo' for both Pat's & Geno's. I was advised to get a 1/2 sandwich from eachcx for sampling. I was going to try to "fly under the radar", but the guys recognized my accent immediately. As for my favorite, I really couldn't decide. But I leaned more toward the Pat's version.

I still retain elements of my previous dialects... Baltimorean (AKA Baltimoron) and Jersey Guy. I think I prefer the Jersey Guy version. Any 'Kick Start' programs this summer? I need some CEUs. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed by stop at 9 (rather than stop with 9) she just meant stop before 9, given that stop means you do not do something. But then again, I believe in giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. Should I stop doing that? And if so, should I stop at your post, or should I stop with your post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skevinp Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 How about we just assume it is a matter of language inflation, as Victor Borge defines it? I will proceed as such today and challenge everyone else to do so. Seems like a good mental exercise that would be a better and kinder use of our time.
