someone once asked "what's the difference between a New Yorker and a Bostonian"> It's simple....a New Yorker will tell you to "GO TO HELL!!"....A Bostonian will tell you HOW TO GET THERE....

And a Climate-Change Activist will say, 'Isn't this Hell right here, right now, as he gets scorched by a piece of bar-b-q hot charcoal that just happened to be in the vicinity.

Both! I have a friend who speaks in heavy Southern drawl…love her but I can’t catch every word. Love the Northerner…I speak that language! <3

Ha, ha! My grandmother, from Galveston, TX (1896-1992), Ada Blankfield, used to say 'All' for 'Oil.' She always wanted an 'All-Well' in her backyard, the dear!
