Reply to comment by famouspieceofshit in Pizza Jawn’s owners are buying a Manayunk bar, which will be called Bar Jawn by Brahette
I rarely hear it used seriously. I don’t see it used seriously on Facebook, I don’t hear it used seriously on WIP sports talk radio and that would come from a wide range of callers from all different parts of the city. It’s def a philly word, it always has been. I just don’t really believe anyone from here would consider it a word to seriously name their business after. I mean someone has so what do I know?

Well, in my experience it’s not the white Philadelphians who are using it, maybe the transplants pick it up but I don’t have many friends that came from outside of philly. For what it’s worth, I listen to sports talk radio just about everyday and I don’t recall many of the host or callers ever using it, no matter white or black, unless they are specifically talking about the word itself.

Na just from different neighborhoods. It’s not that big of a word where I’m at. Not since the 90s at least or unless you’re 35 and act like you’re 16 still

It’s basically child abuse to send your kids to a public school in Philadelphia

There’s no lack of space in the suburbs, everything doesn’t have to be fully utilized. Not much sense to spend all that money to create parking structures

When it was built in the late 1800s, the neighborhood was an upper middle class community and it was built for the rich as apartments. Sometime after the great migration it became a hotel run by father Divine and his church. Now it’s back to apartments.

Nobody from Philly actually uses the word jawn unless they have a Percocet addiction and have been in CFCF
