The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Brownski]

What do you think we are, idiots? That's is a January photograph and there's no snow on the road. I don't know where that is, but it's sure as hell not upstate.

It's probably photoshopped. Or it's someplace dryer and warmer. Like Maine. Or Nova Scotia.

Edit: I can see a tiny little bit of blue sky. Dead giveaway. Probably Nova Scotia.

Ha! The sun comes out once in a while upstate, some times twice in one day. That’s right across the street from Lab, yesterday, same day as the pic down below

By Wednesday in Cortland you could be treated with a foot of fresh pow if anyone wants to make the trip. Go get it!

[Benny Profane]

Maybe.

[huckbucket]

Maybe.

No downside ... go make some turns.

Wrong thread, but I bet there will be some good turns to be had at Elk Mountain based on that map.

Let’s see some Upstate storm chasing.

[gravitylover]

I see you've been stopped by the Winhall police too?

Who hasn't? Fuckin' crotchety old man cop... When I sent in (one of) my payments to the state I had to call and the woman on the phone laughed and said that when she has to be in that area she goes out of her way to not go through that town.

Meh, I'm supposed to get 20+, there are some calls for up to 30" within 20 miles of my house. My shovel, a bag of weed and a 12 pack are ready to go.

Where's Winhall? Is that in Mass somewhere?

[Benny Profane]

Massive lines at Hunter this week.

[Core Shot]

Massive lines at Huntah this week.

FIFY

And yeah, wicked Pissah looongg lines

[Benny Profane]

You're confusing your New York and Boston phrases.

[rideit]

“Lines were as long as at the Shake Shack!”

Regional enough?

(For the joeys coming from downstate)

[Core Shot]

You're confusing your New York and Boston phrases.

Well, yeah, wicked pissah is Boston.

I thought Mensa was like the Marines. Once you’re in you’re always one?

[ötzi]

I think that's usually the case. Evidently there are exceptions to that rule.

[BmillsSkier]

This place is loaded with exceptions.

So, yeah it tracks.

[Core Shot]

I thought Mensa was like the Marines. Once you’re in you’re always one?

Yes. And no. You are supposed to pay dues.

But fuck that. I still have the card somwheres

[Core Shot]

So . . .
Back on track, do upstatahs call it huntah?

Or are you allowed to use a hard R upstate?
Unless it’s an R on a vowel ending.

That may be the test.

If I can ski hunteR (never been) and eat pizzA and have a sodA, I’m down with that.

[BmillsSkier]

I think dialects were scientifically discussed around page 47.

"Hey - yous guys goin to Hunteh tomorreh?!" = Upstate.

Yous and a trailing e-h. Not a trailing a-h. Get it right.

[m2711c]

fuck that place. don't matter how it's pronounced... ain't nobody from up here goin' down there anyways.













fact.

[rideit]

It’s pronounced PEEZ-eh.

[BmillsSkier]

I know I’ve heard the midwestern “ope” in WNY, as in “ope, let me just scootch past you there”, or “ope, would you look at that sky today, first time the suns been out in weeks”, but I wonder if ope is part of the universal Upstate vernacular.
