Here's one from some years ago:
Letter from Bill Gates, Re: Windows Brooklyn Edition
Dear Consumas:
It has come ta our attention dat a coupola copies of the
WINDOWS98/BROOKLYN EDITION may have accidentally bin shipped outsida Brooklyn. If ya got one a dese, you may need some help understandin' da commands.
Da Brooklyn edition may be recognized by da unique openin' screen. It reads:
"WINDAS 98," wit a background picture of Grand Army Plaza. When you start da program, insteada da usual "harpy, stringy" music, you hear da team from
da Godfadda. It is also shipped wit a Sopranos screen sava.
Please also note:
*Recycle Bin is labeled "Staten Island."
*My Computer is called "My Friggin' Computa."
*The Inbox is referred to as "Da Trunk."
*Deleted Items are referred to as "Wacked," "Erased," or "Rubbed Out."
*Dial up Networking is called "Da Bar."
*Control Panel is known as the "Da Bosses."
*Performin' an "illegal operation" is known as "enhancin' the family business" and will actually maximize da program instead of shuttin' it down.
*Hard Drive is referred to as "Da BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) Rush Hour."
*Instead of an error message a "You ain't gonna friggin' believe dis!" pops up.

BILL ("4 eyes") GATESBreukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . Everyday Slang/Talk/Words In Your Area I was just pondering to myself that around here, there are certain ways we talk that might not be used anywhere else. Just wanted everyone to share any words or slang or overall talk you might use with your friends or are just popular in your area. Around here, we often substitute the word 'mad' in for 'very' or 'a lot' or 'many'. Example: "I drank mad beers last night" or "I was mad high yesterday". LOL, it doesn't really make a lot of sense, but a lot of people say it...probably Rating: 5
