Yes, the Sox were shit this year and the Pats aren't looking too great either, but it was nice to see the Skank fail, again...to what historically is a top of the shit pile team :D But while we're talking NY....why are the Giants and the Jets still called NY teams rather than NJ teams? |

Probably because you can only afford tickets if you are a Manhattan mogul! Their PSL schemes are ridiculous. My NY team worries are over for the year -- I adopted the Steelers as my winter team way back when in Steel Curtain days!

Re: American Words you DO Like!
I like the phrase, "I'm really diggin' that (or not)" for appreciating/enjoying (or not :)) something. It appeals to my inner hippy.
Also like 'so long sucker'. |

Apparently spelled "Acclimated" .. not actually an American word, the Oxford English Dictionary has examples of its usage back to the mid-nineteenth century, some British, some American.

Dumpster
Dump instead of 'tip' Dumper truck So anything with the word 'dump' in it basically reminds me I appear to be 6 years old. |
