Teen Talk on Muni

Saw this item on the reader this morning: Mission Mission points to a post on Hidden Host (now we wish our site’s name was an alliteration), which gives us a fine helping of what teenagers talk about on the bus.

For example:

Your cousin already got an iPad.

She keeps calling and like, asking if she can meet your cousin.  NO.

You went to your cousin’s house and saw his new pair of sneakers, and you are able to readily attest to the fact that they are “dope”.

Reminds me a bit of this OH gem from just the other day:

Overheard on Muni, spoken by an early 20-something: “She’s doing old person stuff today. Like sending emails.” – @karenmckevitt

So, naturally, we turn to you: What nuggets of wisdom have you heard spew forth from teenage lips while riding the bus lately?

Elsbernd collects signatures for Muni operator resolution

Muni riders are not amused

Supervisor Sean Elsbernd is carrying through with his threat to take the issue of Muni operator pay (via SFGate) to the voters. Elsbernd will be out on Muni collecting signatures today on a measure to lower the floor on operator pay as a means of helping SFMTA balance its budget.

We see a lot of strong feelings about Muni operators here at Muni Diaries. Rescue Muni has come out for the amendment, while SF firefighters (via SF Appeal), for one, are against the amendment. Let us know what you think of the so-called Elsbernd amendment in the comments.

Wanna Help Give Muni Diaries a New Look?

Leave a comment

We’re about to give Muni Diaries a new look, and we want to make sure you love it too! Please join the Muni Diaries testing pool and give us your two cents on the redesign survey.

Not to worry — it will be the same site, same idea (you tell us Muni stories, we share them with the world) — we just want to make the look of the site clean and lovely.

As a thank you, one lucky, randomly chosen survey respondent will receive a free drink ticket to the Make-Out Room for our spoken word event on April 23.
