[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it very hard to tell of people are mad at each other or just having a friendly conversation. Philly people pride themselves on being blunt but to me it often sounds like someone is just being super nasty and rude.

This strange Philadelphian way of communication is extra stressful if you are communicating via zoom bc it’s like “what is happening…are they mad at me? Did I insult them somehow?” While the philly person is happy, unperturbed on the inside thinking like [b]“yeah I’m keepin it real up in this jawn, should I wear my eagles jersey to get my hoagie at the fancy Wawa or will that jinx the game this Sunday?”[/quote][/b]

I can tell you that not every Philly person talks like this, for example I grew up in Chestnut Hill and we could speak properly thank you very much!  We all aren't Rocky.[/quote]

I don't think OP is dealing with people from your circle of Philly (although "Don't call it Philly" person, here's more evidence that everyone calls it Philly)[/quote]
