“Hey.”
In Milwaukee, they say “Ain’i hey?”
Let’s go by Southside, ain’i hey?”
I gotta lotta grief for calling “soda” “Pop.” It’s “pop” in Cleveland.

Interesting how Milwaukee and St. Louis are islands of “soda” in an ocean of Midwest “pop” - I expect it’s the German influence, but I have no idea how (perhaps it’s related to the ubiquity of breweries).

And on a separate matter, “youse guys” should be in there with “you” and “y’all”.

My favorite Milwakeean term is “bubbler” (drinking fountain). My brother and I would confuse gas station clerks all over the country.
