Touche. I have been to the Central Valley. People from Stockton, Fresno, or Bakersfield and people from Springfield, Bridgeport, Dorchester, and Nashua would get along just fine. Most of them would fit right in in a bar anywhere from upstate Maine to Foxboro to Keene. And they would all be able to breath the air in Bridgeport.

I guess I was thinking more of someone from Marin County or Sunnyvale or the San Gabriel Valley or anything that is San Diego.

It's mostly a rural Rhode Island thing that crosses over into CT and Mass too. Mainly Rhode Island, but places like Westport, Rehoboth, and the borderlands of CT/RI would use that term too.

Just got another story straight from today's rush hour.

My best friend was commuting today on the red line during rush hour. At the central square train stop there was in her words


"A large dogs **** on the stairs. I almost stepped in it because there were so many people around me but luckily I missed it"


I then asked her if it could have possibly been human defecation.

LOL she said yes and started laughing. I had to tell her about this thread.

Today.....Blue line to the airport........Guy maybe 30's early 40's top.......smelled like S**t so bad I seriously thought he crapped himself........literally smelled like human waste and couldn't keep his hand off his own ass,constantly scratching and scratching. Thankfully he kept going and didn't get off at the airport, did not want to get stuck on a shuttle with him.

ok here's one from earlier this week. not public transportation, but in public. Trenton, NJ. this guy gets pulled over and his passenger runs from police (with a big mac in his hand) when asked to get out of the car. when he is tackled by the police officer he ****s his pants. fast forward to the holding cell, i work in the courthouse. the man is now locked up and waiting for transportation to the county jail, he proceeds to **** himself again and vomit in the holding cell as a attempt to get out of the cell. well it worked. he was taken by ambulance to the hospital. nasty pig.
