Because it's a shop usually located on the corner of your street? If it isnt on the corner then it's usually referred to as something you might not want to repeat

A "liquor store" is just an offy (off-licence) to me.

While we're on the language thing, what the hell is a tab? You completely lost me there... I'm not even going to attempt getting involved in this liquor store discussion or whatever it is you're talking about; I'm already completely lost there.

I think he means a cigarette but I have rarely heard anyone outside of the north east use that word in that context if he does.

Yeah a tab is a cigarette. A liquor store is the Offie to me too.

I have seriously only ever heard anyone outside of the north east use the word tab maybe once or twice. I leave the north east and say im goin for a tab and people think im retarded.

But yeah, I can understand why that would piss you off.

Being as proud and bitchy as I am, I certainly "dazzle" them. It's good stuff. Racism sometimes works in my favor, though. Like when I'm out and get hit on. I can always resort to not speaking English. Ooh, or even better. Jury duty.

It is predominantly a North East thing but I use a lot of slang and some is not related at all to where I come from.
