First, y’all ain’t nice. Perhaps the cold weather prevented the youngsters of New England from learning proper manners, but something about this area of the country has caused an entire population to morph into curse-wielding morons. Just two hours in Harvard Yard—where one will likely hear “pisser” or “faggot” abounding amongst other disgusting words and mannerisms—is enough to make you yearn for old-fashioned Southern decorum...
