Local/Regional Sayings

Probably peculiar to my family; "Go play in the swamp" - stop bothering me, kid!

Similar sentiment; "Take a long walk off a short pier"

Book - to go quickly, make haste - "Mr. Moran could really book it!"

Grinder = what Subway serves, but better

Packie: Liquor store, often official called a Package Store, which doesn;t make any more sense.

Wicked=good, also used as an adjective, so Wicked good means very good!

Jawja=southern State just north of Florida.


Fem=A necessary ingredient in the creation of photographs.
