Corcaigh Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 "Essentially, they broke down which words are used with relative frequency in certain states, as compared to relative infrequency in the rest of the country" A few interesting ones here ...

balki1867 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Illinois doesn't shock me at all. Chicagoans (especially single ones) identify with the city neighborhood in which they live: Lakeview: 22 and just out of college Wicker Park/Bucktown: Thinks they're a Hipster Logan Square/Ukranian Village: Actual Hipster Lincoln Park: Have outgrown their Lakeview days River North: Displaced New Yorker Gold Coast: Sugar Daddy, or looking for a Sugar Daddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 One word that if you ever see on there should set off some alarms is GBM. Learned that one the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The word for California was "Desert?" WTF? "Dessert" maybe. Debating whether I should google this term from my work computer... Its related to GWM and GAM. If that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 The word for California was "Desert?" WTF? It is relative to other states. Presumably Californians in the south mention the desert more often than New Yorkers. My money would have been on gourmet figs, at least for northern California.

The 12th Commandment Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Who wouldn't want to sleep with someone in the desert tonight with a million stars all around? In New Mexico it must have something to do with Breaking Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balki1867 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 So people in Ohio and Michigan really like bonfires... That doesn't shock me. I'm more intrigued by "Downtown" in South Carolina (downtown what?). Also "Amusement" in Pennsylvania-- must be lots of Eagles fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 "Grilling" for GA? I can dig it. Just don't be one of those stupid people who says "barbeque" when you mean "grilling". It's not BBQ unless it's a pork butt or ribs, and you've made a fantastic sauce for it. We don't barbeque burgers, folks. (I sound a little uppity, don't I?) Too bad I don't like figs, LOL ...and putting them on a plate? Seriously snobbish! That's where my ribs go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 It's not BBQ unless it's a pork butt or ribs, and you've made a fantastic sauce for it. Sauce on BBQ is for people who want to cover up the taste of bad BBQ. Seasoning, smoke and meat...that's what you should taste....not sugary syrup that covers up all of those hours cooking low and slow in that delicious hickory and cherry smoke!!

The 12th Commandment Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well, if you only ever had sugary, syrupy bbq sauce I can understand your take. Texans, however useless they are otherwise, make the best vinegary, spicey non-sweet bbq sauce that goes perfect with a nicely rubbed and slow smoked brisket or beef ribs. It doesn't get any better than that. I understand that it is completely subjective thing, but I'm just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a Texas style sauce that is used as an enhancement to the BBQ, but the ketchup style pour it over everything until you no longer recognize what you're eating style of BBQ is just plain awful!
