Love is in the air on the expo's second day. On the first day of the Escapist Expo, I attended a panel staffed by a born-and-bred Bostonian, two British expats, a Canadian, and a displaced Oregonian, hosted by a man from Texas. That night, we all gathered on the lawn of the picturesque American Tobacco Campus to watch a cheesy 80s movie, and frankly, it was too dark to tell who anyone was - all I could make out was their raucous laughter whenever something bizarre happened onscreen or MovieBob made a particularly incisive comment.

Still though, there will be a number of terms, phrases, and other references here that might have you scratching your head. Here’s a guide. Take notes.

There are many wonderful luxuries to living in Boston; Beautiful parks, delicious food, historically-laden streets, high-caliber institutions, the best sports teams around…ask any Bostonian why they love living in Boston and you’ll hear answers across the board.

There is still a lot of trash on the sidewalks from the move-ins, but soon those reliable trash collectors will do their job, some nice neighbor will do a little sweeping, a rain will arrive and wash away the sticky debris, and we’ll be back to normal.
