...you're at BU and someone says, "I remember when the BU School Bus was free" and then points to the Green Line trolley...
...a "spukie" is a sandwich, not some kind of low-level mobster...
...a "hoodsie" refers both to the ice cream cup and the young teenage girl...
...the three examination schools (Latin Academy, Latin School, Bryant School of Math and Science) don't have kids hanging around MBTA stations to intimidate other passengers...
...you turn on WRKO, and you just joined Howie Carr's "Wizard of Uhz" segment...
...you turn on WTKK, and you just joined Margery Eagan and Jim Braude argue over
some trifling nugget...
...you turn on WBZ, WCVB, or WHDH, and before they give you breaking news on a fire, a homicide, or gossip, they go right to the weather...
...instead of paying $2.65 a gallon for regular gas, you drive an extra two miles to the Shell the corner of Mass Ave and Columbus Ave, where it's $2.43 per gallon, or take a ride to the South Shore, where it's $2.30-$2.39 per gallon...
...Mass Ave and Stuart Street are at a crawl, and you hear about a three car accident on I-93...
...The Mayah mangles up an innocent word, and it shows up on Howie Carr's column...
...if you lived anytime between 1960 and 1995, the Combat Zone was a nasty, sleazy, seedy place where you could watch XXX rated movies and watch strippers - but was several steps up from Times Square...
...young black kids sell (scam!) overpriced and stale candy to unsuspecting people, who don't realize their "football team/basketball team" is led by a con artist...
...you try to order a "cabinet" (similar to a milkshake) in a restaurant and you're either (a) directed to Home Depot or Lowe's or (b) given directions to Newport Creamery.
...you attend a sports game and you realize $20 only gets you two hot dogs, two beers and maybe a cheap pennant that will last all of three seconds...
...if you're looking for hot chicks or hunks, you'll get a better chance at your local KFC than at the meet markets on Lansdowne Street...
...Bob Lobel, whenever a sports team loses miserably, brings out a bobble head doll covered in a paper bag, or brings out the panic button, or tells the audience, "Send the kids to bed, we're about to show the (Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox) highlights..."
...you remember Candlepin Bowling on Saturdays with Bob Gillis, which was followed by the Pro Bowling Tour with Chris Schenckel and Nelson Burton Jr...
UPDATE: a Mattapan/Dorchester/Roxbury list...if it's a response to our list, it's an impressive one!
