here, we say "the prom"

you have the ave, but here we shorten "the promenade" to "the prom" for sure.

ive decided to give you a few tidbits on the colloquialisms ive picked up on/embraced since ive moved here to the great Sant Monique (no its just me who calls it that, and its just now, not always).

here on the sunnier, always warm and beachy coast* we use more casual, "laid back" terms in everyday life. people who if placed in a NYC setting would be expected to be "corporate" would freely pass around terms that to be honest, simply reflect their age denial. i think its because everyone "does blow" with everyone else around here, whereas on the east coast, they literally snort snow. we dont have it, we had to make our own. please sympathize.

the term "for sure" is everywhere. no matter what kind of workplace or... pleasureplace (?) youre in, you'll hear it, for sure. its not a "FOUR SHORE" sound though, its a "fer shurr" or sometimes when used by people in higher places, "fer showurr" for emphasis i suppose. when its used by an east coaster just adjusting to the concept however, its more delicate (translating into more awkward) "for shurr...orr" but im learning.

anyway i really dont have any other language concepts ive latched onto, but that one really sticks out. so practice it before you come here, please. otherwise youll stand out fur shower.
