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.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
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.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hang, not bang. and sometimes.
although now being an old lady, I am more apt to say "round the block", just like I mutter to all the ya-hoos making illegal u-turns in my hood.
