I didn’t realize these were location specific slang until I watched this video. I thought everyone used these

MAC means MONEY ACCESS CENTER. I think the first MAC cards were issued by Philadelphia National Bank.

Mummers are also a Newfoundland tradition, but it’s a little different. Around Christmas time the idea is to completely disguise who you are using anything and everything and go door to door asking “any mummer’s ‘lowed in?”. And the owner of the house is meant to be guessing who the person in the costume is. It is strange, I know ????

Genuine question…why did everyone attached to the movie Music get a ton of flack, but LOJ didn’t get any at all? He was just as much a part of it?

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
