The FNG

[richfleek]

I just joined today with the free 90 trial.... My name is Richard Fleek and I live in Murfreesboro TN but originally from Dearborn MI. I have been smoking for years and it is one of my greatest hobbies. BBQ has a way of bringing people together which is exactly what we need today in this crazy world. Looking forward to being a longtime member here and I will be posting pictures very soon. Peace and smoke on peeps

Welcome richfleek! I just posted in my introduce yourself thread that I'm packing up for my move to Florida next week. It would have been great to grill and have a beer with you. It's great to have you here and hope to see you around the Pit often! My wife is from Southgate Michigan.

Welcome to The Pit. That term takes me back a long way to place far away! Don't hear that used much anymore...you may have just dated yourself!

That term takes me back a long way to place far away! Don't hear that used much anymore...you may have just dated yourself!

Every one of us that understood the term immediately without having to think about it has just dated ourselves ... and in the process, outed ourselves as former military. And BTW, welcome to the Pit, Richard!

[richfleek]

Yes, former military..... Welcome home brother

One of my customers moved to AZ from Wisconsin about 10 years ago. I moved here from Chicago about 40 years ago.

They introduced me to new terminology, FIBS. I don't ever remember hearing that term when I lived in Chicago. We went up to Wisconsin a lot, especially for the Can Am races at Elkhart Lake.

It's a derogatory term that Wisconsinites have for the people from Illinois who come up to Wisconsin for the weekends and clog the roadways and hunt each other during hunting season

F..ing Illinois Ba...s

Out west we're never that mean. We call our winter visitors snowbirds. People around San Diego used to call Arizonans "zonies"

And, welcome Richard, to the Pit.
