Lol, I think they're silly too. One girl I used to work with used to say the craziest thing about being "all up in someone's face". She used to use the phrase "all up in the Kool-Aid and don't know the flavor". I was like, huh? But then I heard some other people saying that too! I thought I was just out of the loop with slang or something, but the girl who used to say that was a couple years older than me. She also used to say something strange for when a person has a crush on another person. She would say, "he likes your socks". When she first said that, I was like, "oh, thank you, I bought these socks cause I thought they were cute." She gave me an odd look like why didn't I know what she really meant. Who the heck makes up these slang terms anyway? Maybe it's just the nutty Rhode Island people, I dunno.

Dear Kerrie ~ these are truly funny. One of the ones I like, I heard from a co-worker when I was still working: "a few sandwiches short of a picnic." LOL Thanks for the giggles.

Kerrie, I grew up in RI, left for 15 years and am back, and I've never heard those phrases. How weird?

Maybe it was just a Walgreen's thing. The girl who said it was gay, so who knows, maybe she picked it up at the club she was always at. She also grew up in Fall River with my husband. I went to public school with all the kids who came from the projects, so I thought I knew all the slang, lol. My brother tries to talk like that. IMO, it sounds so uneducated. I go out of my way NOT to talk like that, and also not to sound like the typical Rhode Islander, lol. I make it a point to pronounce my "R"s. I slip up now and then though, and I'll say "cah" or "potty" instead of car and party. I've been complimented on the way I speak many times though, so I must be doing something right. I had an ex boyfriend who once told me I didn't have a sexy voice, I had a voice that was perfect for reading to people or reading the Bible. Uh, thanks. Talk about making me feel not sensual, lol.

Yeah! Talk about not sensual is right. People have always commented that I don't have a Rhode Island accent. Even when I went to WA in March.... they expected a full fledged RI accent because they knew someone like that. I lost mine when I was a language major in college (RIC) also, living 5 years in Ohio. Occasionally, a little drawl from Ohio comes through, but my RI accent is hardly noticable.

Where did you go to school? Hope, Classical.. or other? My friend Kathy McCarthy went to Hope. But I think we're quite a bit older than you.

I went to Classical. I think I ditched the accent when I started taking Italian in 7th grade. It was my best subject. When I was a kid and I went to Florida with my parents, there was a waitress in one of the restaurants who kept asking my dad to say stuff, like car, garbage, etc. She cracked up when he said gahbagge. Then she asked him to say "orange". So he said it. She was like, no, it's ouuurange, you know, like with a Southern sound to it. It was so funny. Even back then I felt a little embarrassed at the way people make fun of the way RIers talk. It's not like a Southern accent, ours is sloppy and uneducated sounding. IMO, anyway. Maybe some people think it's charming. I don't. I like to annunciate.

One of my brother's favorites is this, "All up in my grill piece". It means being right up in someone's face, lol. I've actually used that one myself, believe it or not. Of course, I slap myself right afterwards, lol. One thing I refuse to say is "yo". Grrr...

Wow. They called it Hope for the Hopeless when I was in high school. A lot of kids I went to Classical with switched to Hope because it was so easy there. I "hope" it's changed, lol. Mount Pleasant is now called Mount Pregnant. That's where my brother went. I liked my high school, even if we were all called nerds....
