We peeps from R.I. are most know for our speak.....such as



Bubbla - Drinking fountain

De boatayuz - more than one, less than three (literally: the both of you)

Grinda - sub sandwich

Idear - idea (this is one of the words that I frequently used when I was little...it's funny because I always knew there was something wrong with the way that I pronounced the word but I had heck of a time trying to figure out why it was wrong, hehe)

Jeet? - literally means "Did you eat?"...to respond in the negative, you would say "No, joo?" (no, did you?)

Jimmies - chocolate sprinkles...yummy :-P

Quahog - large clam

Roe Dylin - the name of the smallest US state

In L.A.

You are awakened in the middle of the night by a moderate earthquake. Your reply: "That ain't even a 5-pointer" and go back to sleep.

You live 10 miles from work. It takes you 60 minutes to get home.

Walking out of Jamba Juice, you see that a movie is being shot on-location across the street.

You are not happy, or even slightly exited that there may be a movie star there. You just say, " They f*ckin better not be blocking my parking space."

You personally know at least 5 people with agents.

You personally know at least 3 people who have been in a movie or TV show.

You don't know ANYBODY who doesn't smoke weed.

You know what In N Out is and feel bad for all the other states because they don't have any.

Any major movie star is picking out the best portobello mushrooms next to you at the grocers and you don't notice.

The guy at 8:30 in the morning at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney IS George Clooney.

You really can never be too rich or too thin.

The gym is packed at 3pm...on a workday.

The workday starts at 10am...or whenever you get out of your therapy session.

Any invitation comes with, "Starts at 8pm or as soon as you can get through traffic."

You have never met a waiter that wasn't really an "Actor."

You never go to a coffee house without a copy of a script - any script.

It's sprinkling and there's a report on every news station about "STORM WATCH '07"

You call 911 and they put you on hold.

You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4:30 tae-bo class.

A nurse can look at you in all seriousness and ask, "you don't drink or smoke, right?"

All the "cool gyms" allow pedestrians on the street a full-view of those working out. Literally, you can�t drive by Wilshire without staring into L.A. Fitness. Perhaps a new form of window shopping?

The waitress asks if you'd like "carbs" in your meal.

Your babysitter recently played a babysitter in a movie.

Theres a sushi restaurant on every corner, even in Mexican towns.

One of your favorite pastimes is making fun of the 909.

:) you know your a texan when.......


..you use cheetah blankets as curtains.

..children are properly strapped in car seats.

..you worked at what-a-burger.

..tupperware is in every cabinet.

..neighbors ask if they can plug in an extension cord for some electricity because they spent all there money on crack.

..your arrested for distrubution of an illegal substance.

..you chop off the head of your teacher because you think there's a computer chip in her brain.(austin sickness)

..mexicans steal stickers off your car at a flea market.

..refinery's are in your backyard.

..uncle paul gives you a job.

Haha...It's like that here, but not because we have a lot of famous people (we only get a lot of them during the Jim Beam Sweepstakes and Kentucky Derby, which are held about 5 minutes from my house), It's really just because everyone is pretty much treated equally here, no one gets 'star treatment'...They'd get the same wave, nod, or "hi" that anyone else does

OH...We have In N Outs...They're little convenience stores with gas stations..Or do you mean something else?

:D That's just funny because it's always storming here (and we love it) We still do things the same way as when it isn't...Although, the summer before last, Seri and I headed out on 10-speeds on a warm, clear evening, and ended up coming back home soaking wet and dripping from a sudden storm that caught us about 15 minutes before we got back...We were laughing all the way through it...It was great

That's TERRIBLE (if you're serious...Are you serious, or is that a joke?)...If someone dials 911 here (even by accident...like the baby did), the police ALWAYS show up in about 2 minutes...Even if you don't say anything and just hang up the phone


@Newb...do you guys REALLY talk like that?...Now I get the Family Guy town name, Quahog


@ Sam...Is the word "warsh" really used there instead of "wash"?...In Kentucky it's the people that are in the southern parts that do that...Also, "counch" instead of "couch"

The only person I ever heard say "warsh" was my grandma.
