for make a u-turn?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes, I mean for making a U-turn, sorry. I can't believe I am still learning that things are regional.

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.

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.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I have heard both "sprinkles" and "jimmies" here...obviously there is not a clear regional consensus, bullshit or otherwise. I think I learned "sprinkles" first, though.

Wicked awesome!
(That was somewhat ironical. So much so I just bit my tongue because it was stuck in my cheek.)
