Next in an ongoing series on York County-isms
Quick: Ex. “Do you want to run to the store quick?” or “Let the dog out quick before we go.”
This is very similar to awhile, in the you drop it on the end of sentences to signify someone should get on about an activity. The funniest thing with quick is that, like “awhile” doesn’t mean to do something for awhile, “quick” doesn’t necessarily mean to do it with any special haste or for a short period of time.
So why do we say to do something “quick”? Don’t know, but I’m open to ideas! And I’m still trying to collect more York County phrases, so if you think of anything, post a comment!
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
