[edit] Why?
This page was deleted. Why was it replaced with this crap? Half of the words aren't universal to Boston and the others I've never heard anyone from Boston say. Eddie 16:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Changes to "Dunkies" and "retarded"
I removed the "(very uncommon)" from the "Dunkies" line since that's not actually uncommon in the Boston and Cambridge areas, and I've also heard it in the Quincy/Braintree area.
I also changed "retarded" back to "drunk" since "retarded" being "stupid" is not localized to the Boston area. If using "retarded" to mean "drunk" occurs in non-Boston areas, then I would suggest that it be removed from this article altogether. Maxvip 15:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
If you are form revere or an area of boston u will understand how to pronouce this words and i wouldnt suggest saying these words unless u r from here or live any where where they have an accent or different words like packies or clickah. just be yourself !
