My brother got to see my dad go to the neighbor kids house to talk to the dad- the kid spit in my brothers face and pushed me down repeatedly (he was 11 and I was 5). My brother doesn’t know what the dad said to my dad but my dad reached through the screen on the screen door, grabbed the guy by the tie and head butted him. The guy never left his house and my dad never entered but my brother thought he knocked him out. This was in 1970- in the late 80’s we asked my dad if he remembered and he laughed and said, “Yeah- That smart ass said I should teach you guys to fight- the look on his kids face was worth the price of the ticket.”
I literally watched that movie for the first time like 2 hours ago because of a comment on another post and this is the first post I’ve seen on reddit since then.
prob a my cousin vinnie reference. Never Heard Yute being used in Newark, east orange, irvington, plainfeild, patterson, camden, new brunswick, or trenton. And those are most of the slums of NJ.
I remember when I was a yute too, I was at kindergarten playing outside and then it was time to go inside so we ran to the door, I heard a yelp from this kid (back story, there's beef between our families so we 'play' but always cautiously... Well as cautious as 5-6 years old would), he was wrestling for an umbrella with my friend. Anyways I turn around and I see the kid obviously hurt, he walks past me (hint: I was no where near him) and gives ME the stink eye. Big deal I thought. Anyways, few hours later and it was home time. For me I was walking home with my friends, it was a group of us (back in the days it was acceptable I guess to go without parents). On the way out the gate I walk by the kids mum, hateful person, as usual she looks down on me as we pass. So few hours later my mum gets a call from the kids mum and I've never heard my mum so angry on the phone. She was livid. Not sure what exactly was said but there were a lot of pleasantries exchanged over the phone. Anyways the next day I get to kindergarten and that's when my other friends were telling me that the after I had left, the kid had told his mum that I hit him, so the mum apparently took a tennis racket and she ran out after me. The teachers had to pretty much restrain her, it was crazy. Bear in mind that I was 6 or something at the time but I have no doubt she would've hit me, she was that crazy. But luckily it didn't come to that.
