Do you now, or have you ever lived in or around the city of St Louis?

[rhinobean]

Anyone know the term for white trash/redneck in St. Louis? I may be getting politically incorrect here, but wth..

That said what does LA mean in St. Louis slang?

Always thought it was hoosiers? And not people from Indiana as they're good people to know!

Born in Springfield, MO, lived all my life 20 miles north around Morrisville. Became a fan at age ten during the hay day of the GSOT.

I'll be at the game tomorrow.

Yep. My dad said that every third or fourth word. Usually with his head stuck out the window of the car.

 

[bwdenverram]

Born in St.Louis and lived there and in Florissant until I joined a commune in Boulder, Co..

Nice. Parker, CO myself.

 

[bwdenverram]

It's really good, guys!

When I was there for the Seattle game last year a friend took my girl and I here. Soooo good.

I've never lived in or near St. Louis. I've lived in the Rockford/Chicago, Illinois area my entire life.

I have some family that live in the St. Louis area though. I've visited there quite a few times and I love it. I haven't been to STL in a good 6 years though.

bwdenverram liking the area:
Nice. Parker, CO myself.

Beautiful country, plentiful amounts of pot and psychedelics, shit loads of good looking college coeds and Denver just a short bus ride away. Heaven when I was 18-19 years old.
Freaking cold in the winter though. :coffee:

I can't say that I know anyone from the area that actually pronounces forty like that, despite that being a local "thing."

 

[bluecoconuts]

All this talk of pizza and no mention of the best appetizer on earth?

My girlfriend (from St Louis) loves that stuff. Its pretty good, but hard to find in LA.

Myself, I've been but never lived. We'll probably move there one day to be closer to her family, but when I don't know. After I finish school, but if I start working right after I'll probably be going elsewhere, St Louis essentially has no jobs for my field as far as I know.

It is a local thing in "certain" areas..

It's a south St. Louis accent I guess. Meteorologist Ben Able on the mighty MOX (kmox) used to call for "starms from the narth". That always made me chuckle.

Tell you what man. Back in my day when working in St. Louis/West County I met several good looking babes at work. Then they started talking with the accents and I was like wtf? I'm just not talking about a South St. Louis/County thing here either. Some of them were Jefferson County. Nothing against the accents, but that would have been hard to talk to and live with.
