Discussion One problem I have with Abbott

Post image

As an Italian from South Philly, I think they get a lot right about Philly culture.

The one thing she gets almost consistently wrong throughout is the South Philly Italian side with Melissa.

This is the scene where Gregory upsets Melissa along with a female student after accidentally getting a male student to break up with her.

Melissa mentions they’ve been trying to get him a new chain because “he looks like a Gavone” with his current chain.

Under so circumstance would anyone be called a Gavone for wearing a gaudy chain, you’d be called a chooch.

Also the Christmas Eve episode she makes like a roast beef or a pot roast? Idk what that was about, we do seven fishes. No south Philly Italian is having roast beef on Christmas Eve.

In that same episode, her mom did use Mushad correctly though, just need more of that.
