When my sister went on tour and came home with new phrases as well as the fact that no on says certain things anywhere else, that was the first time I relized how we talk differently in New England. Than when I went on a tour myself I noticed it even more. So here are many words and phrases from around here, starting with the most questioned..."Wicked". lol

Wicked- "very", only stronger. Used to emphasize on most any phrase.

Bulkie- oversized rolls you use with cold cuts

Butts- an unused cigarette, or the ones in the ashtray.

Clicker- Remote control

Drug Store- pharmacy

Elastic- rubber band.

Fluff-a-nutter marshmellow fluff

Frappe- A Frappe is made with milk, ICE CREAM, and flavoring syrup, blended together in a frappe machine (mixer).

Grinder- long sandwiches they serve in pizza joints also called subs and hoagies.

Hamburg- hamburger

Ice Cream Soda- An Ice Cream Soda is similar to a frappe, but with soda water instead of milk

Jimmies- Tiny candy that goes on ice cream, also known as sprinkles

Johnnie- hospital gown

Leaf Peepers- People who head up to New England to check out the foliage. Usually found driving 20 mph on major roadways.

Out-of-Stater- Anyone who hasn't lived here their whole life basically

Soda- "Pop is your father, not a drink" haha yea its soda people

"You can't get there from here"- you're heading in the wrong direction

"All Set"- I'm ready

"So don't I"- "that you do too". It is the "echo" of the negative tag question. "You live in town, don't you? So don't I."
