I smell a sitcom. You and Jo just have to adopt a family of Syrian refugees and move in next to Rudy Guiliani.

Dunno. Is there a Syrian family with a next door neighbor, Kiefer Sutherland, who has a station wagon?

Unpaid side gig. lol. Unpaid side gigs make the world go round. Wonder how much our P.O.S. president-elect values unpaid side gigs.

[Doohickie]

Apparently he views catering as an unpaid side gig.

That's a question we don't have to ask here in Columbus :P

 

Fwiw, I agree. Go with the "the" if you're writing University of Rochester in long form. It sounds odd because normally you'd just say "U of R" and omit the "the."

[Randall Flagg]

So I now have two SS posters and a current U of R student in agreement, and feel comfortable doing that. Thanks, EichSnipe.

Always include *the*.  It's more goodly English.

Be careful.  Most of us around here are tainted by Buffalo English.

Awesome.

Careful yous giuys, my Dad taught at the University of Buffalo, English Department... for over 35 years.  

[Winston]

Buffalo expressways, and the way I refer to them, always cracks me. It's "the 90" and "the 290." It always will be no matter how long it's been since I drove them. But never once have I caught myself saying "the 71" or "the 670" down here in Columbus. Nor do I ever say "the 490" when I'm visiting home in Rochester. I'm guessing it's a product of what we hear on the radio.

I had a neighbor who was from Buffalo here in Raleigh and she would call the interstates "the 40" and "the 95".

I haven't read that one in a while.

"It's common to hear Buffalonians refer to "Rite Aid's," "Kmart's" or "Noco's," as if there's a "Mr. Noco" that owns the gas station chain. "

 

lol

I think that one is dying with our grandparents generation. I haven't heard that since my grandma Brown died.

Can't say I ever recall hearing anyone refer to Rite Aid or Kmart in the plural. However, the little mom & pop places still get referred to by the owner's last name w/ an apostrophe s attached. Never considered that to be a "Buffalo thing." Edited December 21, 2016 by Taro T

I think my mom does that, I'll have to keep an ear out for it while I'm in town.
