What John said applies, it's just weird because you go based on pronunciation, and R is pronounced "arrr" like it has a vowel sound at the beginning so you would use "an." I'm not sure why it's that way, because it doesn't usually seem like the written word to anything based on verbal rules if it doesn't want to.

― n/a, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link
I've only had them once in my life (in Jefferson Park), and I don't have the India excuse. I thought they were incredibly greasy and it grossed me out.
― KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think Indian food is all that different from Eastern European food.

HAHHAHA

High-five to jaymc!
I just have this urge to give high-fives!
There are potatoes in some Indian food, and naan is kind of like pancakes.
― n/a, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link
(Note: I basically ate no Indian food the whole time I was in India.)
― n/a, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, aloo paratha is not dissimilar from potato pancakes, in seriousness.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link
wait, Nick, waht?
I'm not true to my Scandinavian heritage. All of the food looked mushy and colorless to me (and meaty).
― KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:08 (sixteen years ago) link
I would probably prefer the ones Nick had today.
Ha ha. It was a combo of:
1. Me being an obnoxious teenager 2. Me insisting that I didn't like spicy food 3. Me desperately trying to hold onto any sense of an American identity that I could
We did eat out at Indian restaurants sometimes, I would usually just eat meat and bread.
― n/a, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I get that, actually. I missed American food something fierce after the second week of my most recent visit.

I like how it ramps up the silliness throughout the article, so that by the end he's just saying random stuff like "Brover Norquist."

Bro v. Wade!!!
It gets to be a frenzy.
― Jesse, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link
what rights were guaranteed in the Bro vs. Wade case, do you think?
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link
also, what is the distinction between "to bro down" and "to bro up"?
― horseshoe, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I have never heard "bro up"!
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:39 (sixteen years ago) link
I've never heard bro up. Bitch up, yes.
― Jordan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Bitch up? I've heard "man up" and "cowboy up."
I remember having long conversations in college about "smoke up" vs. "smoke down" in which we determined that one of the two (no idea which now) was "an Ohio thing."
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
bro down: chillin, hangin at somebody's house with some tunes and some video games
bro up: donning the striped shirt, getting serious, getting wild, getting drunk, getting teh ladiez (or not)
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link
"down" and "up" indicate the overall energy level required.
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link
"Smoke down" must be the Ohio thing, I've never heard that one.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link
"bro up" is from that article!
"Who was the first to bro up and carry that fucking keg of k*ll*an's up four flights of stairs for Duke's surprise party?"
I guess it's like "man up" but more bro-y.

I don't think I like interviewing bands. I kind of felt like a tool.
― Jordan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Urbandictionary.com sez "smoke down" is Michigan slang, which means that "smoke up" may have been the "Ohio thing," since my school was something like 70% in-state.
― jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link
I've always heard smoke up.
― Jordan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, smoke up is what they say everywhere I've ever lived.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Down bro with the brown dough.

"Smoke down" sounds more like an event you attend while, "smoke up" is what you do once you get there.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, Hell, you can go smoke down if you want, but what was once a serious protest of the criminalization of marijuana has been made into a mockery.

when i went to school in ohio everyone said 'up'
― deej, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link
is this a euphemism for something... else?
― kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't have much (read: any) experience with weed in the Chicago suburbs prior to college, so I heard the two terms interchangeably and wasn't sure which was the anomaly.

PHEW! I was really afraid that would to an urban dictionary definition that would give me night terrors.
