During a tickle fight, after I have tried to deflect an attack from Ben:
BEN: Oh, don't you try your fancy moves on me. I'm from the *street.*
BEN: Oh, don't you try your fancy moves on me. I'm from the *street.*
All tickling stops, and I look at him.
ME: The *street*? Ben, the "street" you grew up on was not even numbered until after we started dating.
BEN: Yeah, I know. But, still, they wouldn't let me ride my bike at night.
ME: Yeah, probably because there is nothing resembling a streetlight in your 'hood.
Circa 1998. After he had broken away from the mean *street* of Tabor.
