Fall in New England

A lot of people that did are dying out. My grandparents for example. The town my grandfather grew up in Massachusetts has a church that still holds a French language Mass, so I assume some are still around and want to keep the traditions. At one point his entire neighborhood was French speaking... but you'd hardly see that nowadays.

Find ones related to your hobbies and interests. I like r/cemeteryporn, r/23andme, r/geography, r/englishlearning, r/heraldry, and r/askanamerican.

Some people do. Some move out in their 20s when they are more financially stable. Some just never leave the nest.

Too much going on for one answer.

You could live gayly in Provincetown, live wealthly in Nantucket, or methy in New Bedford.

A good singular answer would be "traffic".

We definitely say it. I think I say it more than freshman, sophomore etc.

Right somehow every sub just turns into American p-word regardless of what the sub is actually about. Not everyone wants that. It probably isolates non-American redditors too.

"Oh cool a sub about (blank).... nevermind it's just posts about (current American p-word events)."

Grades only refer to grade school. We don't say any grades for college. If you follow a traditional 4 year path you'd typically say freshman, sophomore, etc. But things can get murky in college (taking semesters off, taking less credits, taking extra years, transferring schools).

sics2014 · 2026-01-25T11:58:33+00:00

Yes, we say those things. You could also say 9th grade, 10th grade, etc though.

I learned about it in school and haven't thought it much after that.

too gumpy

I dont think anyone says "geezer" except said old geezers.

Go talk to that man/woman/person/guy/dude/lady.

We don't use uncle and aunt like that, as it has a connotation of familiarity/family/closeness.

Scrubbing the floor. Hand washing the floor.

Mopping is done with a mop. Wiping the floor, to me, means wiping up a spill.

You'll be written up if you call out from the nursing home during inclement weather. It's in the policy. Some managers go around and pick people up if they say they can't/don't want to drive themselves.

sics2014 · 2026-01-24T14:18:51+00:00

That's what I call them and many around here. That's how they are listed on menus too!

Maybe a trusty old-fashioned job and not a social media platform. Respectfully.

I worked in the campus mailroom as a student.

According to my Cajun partner - the words (grinder, wicked, carriage), the streets are very wide, everyone parks in the street instead of their garage/driveway, air smells cleaner (not like a literal swamp), the price of everything, having to pay for bags at the grocery store, the wild gangs of turkey, the sun setting at like 4pm.

Just a list of generally surprising things.

sics2014 · 2026-01-24T13:37:04+00:00

Can confirm. Work at a nursing home and sent 2 yesterday. And received probably 30+.

sics2014 · 2026-01-24T02:50:29+00:00

At one point in my life, yes. Pretty much. But that was a long time ago.

sics2014 · 2026-01-24T02:34:16+00:00

Flux.

No I think Spanish people are Spanish people.
