Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

Yes, and since porch falls under the definition of stoop, and the two are virtually interchangeable, I am sticking with my point about the regional/area dialect.

No, a staircase and a porch are not interchagable...that's why they're differentiated in the definition you posted.

...on their front stoop.

It's a porch. Stoops are located in the ghetto, and you do not live in the ghetto.

There's no porch you idiot. It's just steps.

Then it isn't a stoop, either. It's just steps.

Def of "stoop:" A small porch, platform, or staircase leading to the entrance of a house or building.

So it goes to regional or neighborhood-area slang. And a stoop is in the ghetto, and a porch or patio is not.

You know what the word OR means don't you?

Brent just can't admit that not only is he wrong, but he lost to MNS.

But a porch and a stoop are interchangeable. Duh. So, since you're not in the ghetto, and insist on not using porch, call it a *ing staircase, or set of stairs/steps.

MNS said "stoop." A stoop can mean a porch. Vice versa. It's not that difficult.

Since he has implied other "details" to the stoop, he is obviously referring to simply a set of stairs/steps. So I say, call 'em steps. Because no matter what, the fact is, he isn't drinking OE playin' domino, so he is NOT on any sort of "stoop."

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

I concur with Brent here. A stoop is either in a ghetto, or somewhere south of Tennessee.

Stoop covers a wide range. You said it wasn't a stoop and then posted a definition that said...it was a stoop. Did they not teach any English courses at Duluth?

He's sitting on the front steps, shooting the *, drinking beer with his homies. Close enough in this case.

Maybe I've just been hanging out with the wrong people, but I've heard stoop used by whitey before.

And you said stoop, which in this region, is a porch. THEN you said that "it's just steps," which you should have said in the first place, and should still say. There are no "stoops" in SLP.

We called them stoops growing up too...

Who says whitey can't use stoop? I've gone over to my buddy Ramone's house in North, and sat on his stoop.

And I bet Ethel Mae down in Bum* Alabama has a stoop, too.

Are you tired of being wrong:

"Regional Note: Originally brought to the Hudson Valley of New York by settlers from the Netherlands, a few items of Dutch vocabulary have survived there from colonial times until the present. Stoop, "a small porch," comes from Dutch stoep; this word is now in general use in the Northeast and is probably spreading..."

The CCHA Hates Stoops?

I'd never heard of it being just a ghetto-southern thing. No one in my family or circle of friends ever used it like that, we just knew it as "something smaller than a normal porch".

It's always been a southern/ghetto thing. My gramma in Rochester MN had a porch.

My parents have a patio.

People I knew in TX had stoops. Same with people I knew who lived in North Minneapolis (including bigpoppa's grandparents, btw). They never had porches.

It all looked the same, it just depended on where it was.

This is in line with part of your previously posted definition (which proved me right), and no where does this one say that it's ONLY a small porch, nor that a small staircase is not also called a stoop.

BOX.

{sigh} you later clarified "just stairs" which then should be the proper term of reference, because you do not live in the ghetto. Is this clear yet, or do you want to rub more of your bricking results around some more?

Well, considering that I grew up calling it a stoop. This same stoop in fact. It was called a stoop everywhere I went (including other upper midwestern states). You know who didn't call it one? Wisconsin.

Are you done back-pedaling and looking like an idiot yet?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

Let's break it down:

1. Do you live in the ghetto? No.
2. Do you live in the south? No.

It's not a stoop.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 81: Trickle-Down Lodganomics

It should be called a porch because if you call it a stoop, you'd be a stoop monkey instead of the alternative.
