OK, wait -- my coworker just directed me to the (ridiculous) comments on that ad, and now I have a question: Do the rest of you people not "bang a u-ey"?
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Does that mean doing a u-turn on the road? I've never used the word "bang" in that context.

Do the rest of you people not "bang a u-ey"?
Depends. Is u-ey hot and witty?
Also, sprinkles.

Yes, I mean for making a U-turn, sorry. I can't believe I am still learning that things are regional.

Do the rest of you people not "bang a u-ey"?
I say "hang," not "bang," but yeah on the u-ey. (I've never spelled that out.)
Alternatively, for the same maneuver: "Flip a bitch."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I say "make a u-ey." But I probably picked that up from my mother, who grew up in Massachusetts.

Do the rest of you people not "bang a u-ey"?
Uh-huh. Also "bang a left" and "bang a right".
I also unironically use the term "wicked" in the New England sense, though I do NOT use "wicked pissah".

I am totally going to acquire the kind of Boston accent I never really had. I'm going to say baahhhthroom and everything.
