Strange Things That Californians Say

The movers got here this morning and my stuff is being loaded on a truck to make its way to California. It all feels surreal. The last meals at all my favorite Nashville haunts, the lingering goodbyes, and the talk of a new job, a new life, in a faraway land.

Surreal.

As I try to make sense of it all, I keep thinking about the strange things that Californians say and wonder if someday soon these words and phrases will slip out of my mouth…

I am kind of sick of In-N-Out. Can we eat something else?

That earthquake was nothing. It was only a 5.2.

Be careful on the roads. It’s raining outside.

It’s freezing outside. {said in the winter when it hits 50}

It’s really hot and humid today. {said in the summer when it hits the upper 80s}

That wave was gnarly. {I am still not sure what gnarly means.  And is it good or bad?}

What should we do this weekend? Go to Disneyland? LA? San Diego?

What other strange things have you heard Californians say?
