What Do You Call It?
Our library entrance has been filling up with more than 40 answers to a question we posed: Did you grow up using a word, phrase, or expression that you later realized was unique to your family, region, or generation? We asked you to share - when/where it’s from and what it means- while asking keep the wall clean, respectful, and kind.

The responses have been fun, nostalgic, and surprising! We’ve included a few selections in this post.

Water Ice: aka Italian ice everywhere but Philadelphia. On a hot day I told a friend I'd love some water ice and he said “do you mean... ice?”

Fresh: when you have a attitude. 90's parent. In mass.

Bless your heart: What you say to someone you don't particularly like. Southern US. Ex. Texas

Galing!!!!!: Philippines. Amazing!!

Beeper: TV Remote. NOT "Clicker”. 90's Boston

Muta Lo: Mute the t.v. Unique to my family & a form of Spanglish. Nicaragua
