Irvine Welsh is my king for this one. had to use the dictionary in the back of Trainspotting to understand half the things people said while reading it for the first time. When I write my Philly-based autofiction masterpiece, I swear a white woman will order an “es-puh-loan sowduh” out at the club Edit: ig it’s local dialect, not just slang

Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with. You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info. I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
