The New York System on Smith Street is still there. I pass by it every day. 
Still thriving. I'm not sure of the old hang-out New York System on 
Olneyville, I don't get over there much.

One thing I miss about RI and NE in general is the wonderful pizza that is
available. Here in Maryland we have pizza hut and lidos and they don't even
resemble pizza compared to say... Famous Pizza or Bill's pizza (coventry and WW).
I've tried a couple of hole in that wall places here in md as well with little increase
in satasification.

When I lived in Arlington MA there was great pizza at Arlington House of pizza.
All these places, Bill's, Famous, etc., you would call in your order and they would say
with a definite greek accent "ok ten minutes" :)

So Who has the best pizza in RI. I'll check it out when I visit in July.

Hee hee.  This even tops the silliness of all the "Rhodyisms".  

So, were these friends of yours pulling your leg or do they live in a
TV-less closet.  Have they honestly never heard of the international
Pizza Hut?  Did they miss the entire "Pizza Noid" Domino's commercial
spree?  Have they never seen an ad for Little Caesar's "Pizza Pizza"?


As to the "Rhodyisms", save us the bandwidth, people, and look 'em up
in a decent dictionary.  If the etymology dates the word back to the
1500's, as in "parlor", or 1800's, as in "rubber" (galoshes), and
cites references from around the country or even the world, then the
word can hardly be called a "Rhodyism."

So far, the ONLY word I've seen mentioned here, which I hadn't heard
elsewhere by the definition given, is "cabinet", meaning "milkshake".
One explanation I've heard is that the milkshake mixer at Newport
Creamery used to be stored on the counter in a cabinet.

Can anyone come up with a second?


"Soda"?!?  Get real.

Oh no! That's too bad, I really liked Mutt's style - all the toppings

Its quite obvious that we need a dreaded <aaarrrgh>  FAQ for this
newsgroup.

The most obvious item is Rhodyisms.  They fall in several categories:

1.  Authentic Rhodyisms
2.  Rhodyisms by eccentricity (nobody else uses the word anymore)
3.  Rhodyisms by regional ignorance (RIers THINK they're the only
                                     ones, but there are a FEW other
                                     places where such words are
                                     used.)
4.  Quasi-Rodyisms.  More like NewEnglandisms.  Rhodyisms that also
    may have usage in SE Mass. or Conecticut.

Email me with your words (even if they've been posted here) and I'll
post a summary for people to iron out and suggest category changes
on a regular basis.  Also suggest any categories not mentioned above.

According to Websters or some other reffernece the above may be true.
"cherry stones" are quahogs which are smaller then clams although I
think of cherry stones as just not adult yet :) 

As a kid we dug clams on the mudd flats of to the right fo the access road
going to Gallie. back then you could get quahogs as big as your fist and they
where generally larger then clams found in the same mudd. These quahogs are
what one made "chowda" and clamcakes with. mmm.

Parlor is a general old term, dating back at least to the 17th
century.  It's not _exactly_ the same as living room, in fact the term
"living room" was created to describe rooms that differred from what
was traditionally a "parlor".

A parlor was traditionally the formal room (usually near the front
door) where visitors were entertained, away from the living spaces of
the family, principally bedrooms.  Starting late last century, I
think, people started building homes with a room for the family to
"live" in rather than a formal parlor.  They coined the term "Living
Room" to describe these rooms.

Later, even more informal spaces were dubbed "Family Rooms"...

While not exclusively a RI think, Spinach Pies are definitely most
popular in RI and Eastern Mass.  I never found any in Atlanta, and the
one bakery I found in Florida didn't do too hot.  I think DePetrillo's
in N. Providence made the best ones.

If you ever make it down to Houston, I just found one place that makes
them.  Its even run by a greek family!  I have this theory that there
are more pizza places in SE New England run by greek families than by
Italian families ... anyone agree?

Bad disc?  Hardly.  Fudge Tunnel is just about the heaviest, grungiest
grind metal (whateverthehell you wanna call it) I've heard.  A little
like the Bolt Thrower gut-busting grunge mixed with Nirvana's catchy
licks.  Highly recommended.  Also check out their 'Teeth' EP, a little
darker (mixed down even further) and, I think, more satisfying ('S.R.T.'
makes me feel like a god every damn time I hear it).  Great car tunes.

Hmmm, interesting. The cut on the _Grindcore_ CD is rockin', but not as good
as, say the Ruins or Naked City or the Boredoms, but it seemed like they
could be pretty good along those lines on album. Is the LP straight grindcore,
or is it stoopid-fast-cutup-pain jazz stuff? And no, I'm not a Mr. Bungle fan.
I want to hear the real dope. Patton's a pussy. I met him, and it's true.
Anyway...

Now Anal Cunt, that's a band I need to know more about. What have they got

never been able to get my hands on it. Got any label info handy? Do tell,
