Changed line(s) 1 from:

Calling oneself \
to:
Calling oneself \\\"a Southie\\\" -- Being from Boston, I\\\'ve never heard anyone do this. \\\"Southie\\\" is a place, not a demonym. People from Southie would say \\\"I\\\'m from Southie\\\" and not \\\"I\\\'m a Southie.\\\" (Not that this hasn\\\'t been done in fiction, but it\\\'s done by scriptwriters who don\\\'t have a clue.) It would be like saying \\\"I\\\'m a Brooklyn.\\\" Or \\\"I\\\'m a Queens\\\". (Which people might do, but not for that reason.)
