[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from north Wilmington and my parents grew up in blue collar Philly neighborhoods (they always called it Philly, not sure why that is a no-no).
As noted above, wooder=water and quooder=quarter. There is also a weird long “o” in home or throne (or just the word Oh) - not sure how to type it, but it’s like “heooome”. We drop words. For instance, “I’m done my soup” is perfectly acceptable, whereas uptight DMV types insist on extra words I.e. “I’m done with my soup.” All of my relatives are far more direct than people typically are in the DMV. I get told a lot that I am “very genuine” - by which I suspect people here mean rude or blunt.

Tastykakes are the best! Wawa is the best! [/quote]

both of which are readily available elsewhere.[/quote]

Nope. I'm in Arlington. Closest Wawa is downtown DC or way out in Vienna. It's not the same as having them all over the place where you can pop in all the time. [/quote]

Seems pretty close to me. [/quote]

DP.  Well it's not, LOL.  In the philly area there's at least one in every town, if not more.[/quote]

A point of reference: there are as many Wawas in Delware County (Delco) (42) as there are starbucks in Fairfax County, Va--and yet the population of Delco is half that of FFX. So it's a heck of a lot more Wawas per person. Plus many Dunking Donuts which seem pretty popular.
