Since we are doing Detroit area: The Inner City Grand Prix. With references to The Lodge Expressway. If you have driven those you would understand....Think far left lane, posted 55 mph traveling 80 or more and at the last minute cut across three lanes to make the exit..... -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

"Yuns jag" is Pittsburghese for "You're lying/annoying/teasing/BSing". Yep, it's different there. They even put French fires inside their sandwiches! “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – Barack Hussein Obama, January 23, 2009 | |||

From my old man. "Busier then a 21 year old hooker at a baptist preachers convention on a Saturday night." "Colder then frog pussy out there." "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." --James Earl Jones | |||

"YINZE" Pittsburgh for "you'ins". Gum Band - Pittsburgh rubber band. dahntahn - Pittsburgh for down town. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Busier'n a one-armed paperhanger. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Which reminds me of two more: Didn't know whether to shit or go blind, so I closed one eye and farted. I'm so confused I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my ass. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

A couple from SE PA/Philly I can think of: "Awhile": "Can I get you some drinks awhile" said the waitress "Jeet": Did You Eat? "Jew eat": variant of Did You Eat? ( was in school in NY state and said that to a guy in my class who was Jewish, and he actually thought I was fucking with him) "Down The Shore" or "Downashore": at the beach in New Jersey "Yuze": You all (Philly equivalent of Pittsburgh "Yinz") | |||

He's so confused, he don't know if his ass was punched or drilled. He's/She's so ugly, he's gotta sneak up on a mud puddle to get a drink of water. Well I can't dance and it's too windy to pick rock, might as well have a beer. She's so pretty, I'd be on her like a duck on a June bug. "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's rainin!"

Can't say it's regional, but a few of my favorites from my grandpa: Boy, you are ATE UP with the dumbass. Son, you have to be at least 10% smarter than the hammer. "Arguing with a fool is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like it's victorious." ~Anonymous | |||
