More Eastern Mass Words Not Known Elsewhere
I found some more words and terms that are very common to the Southcoast area, but very foreign elsewhere. I asked some people here in Central New York if they knew the definition of these:
BUBBLER (drinking fountain)
Nicole: The small ring kids use to blow bubbles
Bridget: A drink with seltzer
John: A baby
Lisa: Office water cooler
DUNKS (Dunkin Donuts)
Nicole: Men's swimsuit
Bridget: Swimming lessons
John: NBA basketball term
Lisa: Crackers made for soup
GREEN MONSTER (big wall at Fenway Park)
Nicole: Comic book villain
Bridget: Someone who is very jealous
John: Red Sox mascot
Lisa: St. Patrick's day hangover
PACKIE (package store)
Nicole: Back pack
Bridget: A hoarder
John: Green Bay Packers fan
Lisa: "I would have no idea."
Here in New York State we have our Half Moon's and Tomato Pies, but no bubblers or packies.
