He has such a smooth voice omg. That philly pride really shines.
"Young bol, hand me the jawn out the jawn."
As a Philadelphian, I love this
🤣🤣🤣
Sameee
😂 worst part is i said that b4
I understand all of this #philly
At the table ma pass me da jawn over there !! I need some for my eggs (ketchup)
Leslie Odom Jr- you did Philly proud with this. Well done.
I agree. And you’re a nice man Ray Cornwall. You rule.
I love that he pronounced water ice properly, "wooder ice".
I honestly never said "wooder" (I guess Abington is a little far from Philly for that to sink in). Unless I'm getting water ice. Not "italian ice" either. Water ice or bust.
I did say "crick" though.
@@edbangor9163 YES!!! Crick! Pilla for pillow!
We get made fun of so bad! Lol
we say it more like Wa-da Ice lol
Me too! Because he speaks pretty proper , I thought he would've pronounced it differently lol
MAC means MONEY ACCESS CENTER. I think the first MAC cards were issued by Philadelphia National Bank.
Correct, it was an acronym :-)
wow
Yeah, and sometimes you even "tap mac"
Yup. It was for Girard Bank
Everybody had a Mac card or an Access card
Glad this rang true. I’m an NY transplant in Philly and remember “thats ignorant”, “you drawlin”, and “that’s Joe” really just shocking my entire soul
Trust me, ignorant in philly means Dumb, Stupid, idiotic. Not the actual meaning of ignorant, and yeah you drawlin is a classic.
Drawlin is still in existence 😂 I say DRAWN STILL!!!!!
Joe I remember like being done after my high school days. I haven't heard that in a while. But "You drawlin" "You outta pocket" "you irkin" "That sh*t irk my soul" are still going strong.
It’s drawn not drawlin
Correction: "That's ignit."
When I see this guy, I always think back to him doing his Shakespeare monologue in High School. Now I see him in movies, plays, commercials and now Vanity Fair. So proud of that guy.
I feel like "salty" did originate in Philly. Because I remember saying it as a kid, and we never pronounced it so "correctly" it came out more like "sawdy". Nice vid!
Yes!
Salty definitely pronounced Sawdy
Yes!
ha i remember saldy..if you forgot using this term in erly 90s when we were playing behind the houses in the alleyways then you saldy...olney/westOakln👌
Yes sawdy
Yes. This talk is natural for us. You go out of town and they look at you like you drawlin!! Love Leslie Odom
Yahmean..
It’s spelt drawn
Half of these I didn’t even realize were philly slang. Like I was so confused as to why “down the shore” was there
I guess it depends where you live in Philly cause I heard "down the shore" alot as a kid.
Sameee I was like wait ppl don't say down the shore 😭😭😭
I told my friend the other day that I was going down the shore and she was like wtf is that. She lives in ohio
Because down the shore IS A NJ TERM. You Benny.
@@dianeridley9804 its not just a nj term its more of a term used in areas like nj philly Maryland Delaware…
Jawn is the epitome of Philly.
lol word!
Lol that and Yahmean...
Most Philadelphians HATE that word. It's for the inarticulate few that can't describe something.
@@pointman73 This statement is false
@@pointman73 bro what?🤣🤣
Again, how is he looking younger now than he did when he was in Hamilton?
Hair
50 yrs old in Philly all my life and never heard of Hollar's night... It was always Mischief Night and water ice always sounded like "wooder ice" 😁🤣
Yup! Just said the same thing!!
Yes, me too. Mischief Night and Wooder.
I love that he's incorporated his family in this!!
he's like that calm, fun type of person.
This video makes me so happy and proud to be a Philadelphian. You nailed every single slang! ❤️❤️🙌🏾
Sidenote: Best part about being born n raised in Philly is having a wooder ice and pretzel with mustard (spicy mustard, I prefer) and then going down to the shore (Jersey)in summer. ❤️☀️
What you know about that boul? ☕😃
yeah especially in north philly by a school named woodrow wilson middle school that pretzel place was so fire
Never heard of "holler's eve." Always called it mischief night. Only one I didn't know.
That said, if you through "Philly" in front of "cheesesteak", it's probably not one. I could really go for a run to Pudge's now, though. That video made me hungry.
dalessandros > everything imo, but to each their own
How have I, an old head, been here my entire life and never heard of Holler’s Eve?? We always called it Mischief Night.
That's exactly what I said
AGAIN with the NJ slang. LeSigh
There has never been anything called hollers eve in Philly... maybe it was a particular family that that was there thing , but it's never been a "PHILLY" thing... lol, just sounds goofy lol
@@thejawnstop3693 ya
Yo! This bol’s definition of Jawn is perfect lol
Edit: if you call a Hoagie a “sub” or a “hero” at a papi store that’s a rumble lol 😂
Papi store😄
Philly suburb born and raised living in Alaska now. Grabbed a quick sub sandwich for dinner with my daughter and she straight up called it a hoagie. No prompt no nothing. She's seen philly maybe once in her 10 years. I'm so proud.
We called Hollers eve” mischief night” in west philly
Same in north. My grandmother got egged at the bus stop one year.
Facts
In North Philly it was called "Mystery Night"
It was mischief night in fishtown too

Ugh it took me years to understand drawing. It was always some girl having a public conversation (usually on her phone usually at the salon) about this new guy she’s talking to and always emphasized that he was drawing, but pronounced it with an L and dropped ING.
I feel like we say "you good" a lot more then other places. And I love how it literally means so many things depending on your tone
Lmaoooo! I LOOOVVEEE explaining Jawn, drawin, Joe, and a Chester Favorite: “dickhead” as in. That’s dickhead, Lmaoooo
Bruh I like how I live in Texas and a lot of people copy y’all slang💀smh. But that’s lowkey everywhere y’all lit tho stay safe up dere
In da way
Cold noodle
Get dark
Tab
Vicious/bol game etc
Tawheed
Fall back
My zone
Line um up
Depends on how you say old head. “That old head over there” -some older guy you don’t know. “My old head right over there” -mentor or your dad
Same for "Young bol" or "Youngin"
@@eragon400 youngbol is used as an insult sometimes. Like when someone the same age as you or younger says “whats up youngbol” which is usually followed by the other person saying “Who the F is you callin youngbol
He's so attractive😩😩😩
One time I visited my family in Australia and we went to a restaurant. I asked the waiter for some "Wooder", and the waiter said, "what did you just say?" I realize my Philly accent came out so I had to educate this young bol and told him "Wooder is how we say Watt-Ter in Philadelphia."
It’s really pronounced “War’da” ice
Old Head Philly Girl here!, who just had her Cheesesteak Hoagie. (combination of a cheesesteak with lettuce and tomatoes). I'm a little Salty because Rita's isn't open to get my Mango Water Ice. That's Outta Pocket they're not open yet but I'm Straight! Rita's Mango Water Ice IS MA JAWN! Might need to tap Mac before I go. There's one on Girard across from the Rocky Statue. 😉❤
You made me homesick! I need to go back so I can just be in my bag!
Mango water ice is absolute top tier. Get that mango w/ vanilla ice cream gelati
@@ErdTirdMans that’s the move
Hear me out
Blue raspberry is just as good if not better
We don’t eat cheesesteak hoagies lol
Philly bank 1st Pennsylvania Bank was probably the 1st city where ATM's were tested. They called them MAC, short for Money Access Center.
Thanks
My mom and grandma still refer to them as mac machines or "tapping the mac" to use it in a sentence lol
...yeeesss my mom nd dad both be like “i gotta tap mac real quick” 😂😂
Yesssss my dad would say tap mac haha
Hahaha tapping the Mac I haven't heard that in so long my grandparents used to be like im gonna tap Mac...man I miss being a kid in philly
Lol so does my dad
I wish I could attach the screenshot of me asking my husband if he tapped mac this morning. Lolol
As a Philly kid, something Ive recently heard a lot (idk if this is just Philly or other regions too) is people saying "pause" when something gets weird.
Rs
Naw that started in Harlem been around since the 90s Thanks bro Go Birds lol
I moved to MD when I was 32 and was shocked, and severely disappointed, that they’d never heard of the mummers. I spent most of New Year’s Day sending RUclips videos to my in-laws to prove I wasn’t crazy and they were missing out
Grew up 2 hours north of Philadelphia and definitely used a lot of these terms. Brings me back!
So u were in NY🤷🏾♂️
Grow up in Norristown we used all of these it's just an hour plus outside the city. Depending on which way you go.
I was on vacation in Florida and asked where the Mac machine was several people said I don't know. After like the 4th person they said ATM like where you take money out I said yes. OMG rough lesson in world vs Philly language 🤣
My friends would always say "I need to go to WaWa to Tap Mac" before we paint the city.
born in philly & this is amazing. Best voice
"Down the shore" and "Up the mountains"..lol
I didn't realize these were location specific slang until I watched this video. I thought everyone used these
Same
Being from Philly I can just say we've been using these same slangs sense the 70s at least. Other words are just names not slang like Mummer's. Mac became a slang but has actual roots in the early 80s.
Me too... 😩😂
I’m in my late 40’s and I STILL say “Tap Mac” and I get weird looks 😂
I guess I’m an Old head 😂
The term Hoagie turned Leslie into a food reviewer
I’m from Philly and never heard of “AHA”. The only acceptable soda is “Days”.
It was an Ad. Don't worry....they drawlin'
Is it Frank's? Thanks!
YO FACTS
@@TheBulBey lol @ they drawlin... 😂. The product placement was real Jo ...
right
His voice is so soothing lmaooo
it really iss
Mummers are also a Newfoundland tradition, but it’s a little different. Around Christmas time the idea is to completely disguise who you are using anything and everything and go door to door asking “any mummer’s ‘lowed in?”. And the owner of the house is meant to be guessing who the person in the costume is. It is strange, I know 😂
Over here in the 'Burgh we'd make fun of the Philly transplants for saying "wooder" as if we weren't out here saying "dawn tawn" was where we were going to the catch the Stillers game.
I sent this to my dad and he was like, “It’ll always be the Mac to us” 😂😂
‘“ATM machine” is redundant since ATM means “automatic teller machine”-thus we have ‘automatic teller machine machine’.
@@Castilda0311 That's why many of us also just say "the ATM"
Ahhhhhh brings a smile to my face to hear things pronounced properly. And please tell people it ain't "crayons" it's "crowns" 🤣
My friend from the Northeast of Philly says tappin Mac when he says he needs to stop to get money out of the ATM.
Yeah we say that. tbh NE philly doesnt have the thickest accent, thats the south.
I'm 27 and I just felt personally attacked 😂
Bruh me too! Now that’s outa pocket. Old heads are at least 36 now lol
Same
@Tia E ur a old head Tia lol times fly's lol lol yahmean
@@Maycaker 36 u guys are killing me old heads are in their 50's and 60's 36 is still young lol I'm crying smh
Such a talented and wonderful person, made my day
My mom used to say MAC machine alllllll the time - this video unlocked a memory!
I still say MAC machine.....wtf is an ATM!!!
Let’s not forget “DRAWLIN “
Drawing. Like drawing attention. We don't use an L in delco. Which accent is basically the same.
@@seanmcguire7974 nah bro drawlin means tripping, you talking about something else
It’s drawn
They mis drawin 😂😂
That’s what I was waiting for
Gotta go “Tap MAC” 😂
Loved that he talked about the mummers!
Mac Machine is definitely ole school Philly. I thought everyone in every city had a Mummers Parade love my city
Soon as you said Mummers I got the biggest smile on my face. You can’t be a Philadelphian and not know who they are.
Yea but what about “two street”?
I'm a really old fart who has lived in the Philly burbs for over 30 years. MAC machines are (were?) Called that because they utilized the Money Access Card.
I love that they added the mummers in there. I'm from south Philly!
From The Burgh, loving the Philly slang.
I feel so proud watching this.
I love him so much! And philly slang is dope af. I like hearing different city slang
“Wooder ice” I’m a Philly girl all the way! born and raised with my young bol’s😂🔥
I’m ecstatic with this and I’m cracking up at his mom saying “ard” when they hung up
My family called "Holler's Eve" "Mischief Night" - but I was also told to stay in during that night!
I love that he called family 😆 also he goes to school in Pittsburgh & they couldn't understand him? That's funny.
Philadelphian here!
I still say i gotta tap mac lol i love love LOVE this video so much

Tap Mac! And Jawn lol wow. You are right, I wasn't aware of all the slang I spoke until moving to the West Coast.
We dont have much slang out here on the west coast...
i would listen to his voice to fall asleep😩💙
Born and raised and Philly Proud!! ❤😊
Love it 😍
My CBS Radio reps in NYC would say..."I gotta tap a MAC before we hail a cab". As a kid in Detroit, we called "Holler's Eve" ... "Devil's Night".
"Washed" is my new favorite. Worth waiting for...
the Mac.....whhhat....i still didn't realize that's a philly only thing... "money outta the mac" just rolls off so smooth
I can't even count how many times I said, "I gotta hit the mac" back in the day.
I still say "I gotta tap mac" 😂😂
i still do
Been here my whole life, 50 something years, and never heard “Holler’s Eve” before this.
FYI - it’s “Mischief Night”
What a voice 😍
You really do Philly proud! But maybe it’s because I’m older or started my life down the shore in Wildwood, except for the food, the Rocky Steps and the MAC Machine which I used to tap, I never heard most of those expressions. And what is AHA? never heard of that either lol!
AHA isnt a slang term it's just a sparkling water brand
Mummers parades also remind me of the parades on Bourbon St in New Orleans
In Philly we don't annunciate salty. It's sawty.
I had a flashback of 9th grade when he got to “Mummers”. Our math teacher decided to just play the Mummers parade instead of teaching, and another one of my teachers talked about how their daughter joined one of the clubs to perform at the parade.
I recently moved to Virginia and I miss Philly, everyday.
Leslie Odom, I love it! You’re so eloquent. ❤
MAC Machines were first introduced Philadelphia National Bank. Remember seeing them promoted at Phillies games at the VET and on TV..
Damn that sweater the nicest thing I’ve ever seen
Right!
I'm moving out of philly soon I'm gonna miss these words
7:15 idc he had me ctfu w those puns 😂
MAC is also an acronym “Money Access Center”
Yes! It was a MAC machine!!!🤣🤣🤣
Didn't know he grew up in Philly!! 💖💖🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿
Yes! I would go to the MAC. We always go down the shore!
In Philly, it’s just a cheesesteak
For years, Frank's soda was the local soft drink.
Frank's Black Cherry Wishnick
My parents definitely called them MAC machines in Pittsburgh too 😂 I'm glad it wasn't just us.
THIS IS A VERY CLEAN, SQUARE VERSION. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER RELEVANT SLANG TERMS HE DID NOT MENTION
Teach us
Finally they teach people about our slang
I gotta go "smack Mac". This is such a good video :)
I love his energy
My brother went to med school in Philly, and MAC was the one term he quickly adopted. I didn't think it was the local slang so much as it was a matter of the the abbreviation MAC being on most of the machines over there.
For that matter, there are probably people of a certain age who called them Versatellers, at least for a while. And I know many people my age still say "TiVo" when referring to any DVR. It's not slang, it's just what their particular machines were called.
I mean it sorta turned into slang because we say it instead of atm
@@sophiegallagher9445 Are they still labeled as MACs?
@@6thwilbury2331 nope they all say ATM now they stopped using mac machines in early 2000s I think
@@sophiegallagher9445 Ah interesting. I haven't been there since exactly then (2003 to be exact). So yeah, in that case, still saying "Mac" would definitely qualify as slang at this point.
@@6thwilbury2331 literally the year I was born lmao
I completely forgot about MAC machines and had no idea everyone didn’t have those.
I know what a MAC machine is. I grew up east of Pittsburgh in Westmoreland county and we use that name a lot. It originally meant Money Access Card. I think the older folks still use that name.
