Common on now...down here in the South (of New Jersey), I hear all kinds 
of Philly slang that I don't even understand. 
Actually, I don't understand the naleart and the explosive hair for

Where I come from, we have
our own special wildlife (sortoflike Oz land), you know, the goriller on 
the ruf and the lobsta in the pot.
