For Reasons, I’m trying to compile a list of phrases / terms of art that are used in Greater Boston, but not really in the rest of the US. (Not words like rotary/jimmies/tonic; phrases that are uniquely local that describe concepts.)
So far I have:
- Getting Storrowed
- Allston Christmas
- French Toast Alert
- Wicked pissah (maybe…)
@rednikki In the general wheelhouse of what you ask after:
Spa - some convenience stores https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2018-05-22/why-are-some-boston-area-convenience-stores-called-spas
Intersections that are decidedly irregular called Squares
Street name shortenings - Mass Ave and Comm Ave
The Big Dig
The North South Rail Link
Reverse the Curse
The Green Monstah
