My dad says "broads." Born and raised in Buffalo. I never thought it might be a regional thing, but makes sense. They say it in old movies a lot, but those writers were probably all from NY, too.
I’d bring a girl over. He’d pull me aside, face lit up, put his hands just off his chest and motion like he was cupping something and be like “Hey, she…ummm ya know”. I’d say “Yeah dad, she has tits”. Then he’d nod his head in some kind of proud approval and say “Nice lookin broad Bradley”
I work as a sever in restaurants. Been on west coast my whole life except for year after high school I moved to upstate NY. Guests have always asked if I’m from NY. I tell them AZ. Usually shocked. Entire family from New York. I 100% have the accent. It’s natural. Comes out when in the presence of east coasters.
Same with my dad. From the Bronx. Used to call hot women, “broads”.

Old school men just told it like it was.
Yes they did. I got a lot from him, the good and the bad. I’m like my dad but better and more edgy humor, in a much more digestible format.
Yep. All from NY, Philly and Jersey.
Woah woah woah, your dad is a bx kid too?

Old school Bronx. Yeh.
“…I always knew where to find him and he always had the time - to talk, to drink, go to a titty bar, you name it.”
“Titty bar” cause Benny was from a simpler time
I was going to comment on this because the fuck calls it a titty bar anymore
My dad, who is 1970 incarnate.
1970 was a great time to peak

Thank you!🙏

Powerful, Ray. Also - Happy Birthday!
Vinnie reminds himself: don’t bring a butter knife to a gunfight.
Ray, well done. Such a tragic story.
Powerful story. True?
Fiction but inspired by something I heard about the other day
