It's a real old saying. I've only heard it in Central/Northern Maine. It usually went this way in my family "Ah va! I'm telling Mama!"

Lots of noise rock like The Jesus Lizard, Shellac, and KEN Mode. Classic hardcore like Black Flag, Op Ivy, and Minor Threat. Modern hardcore/grind like Zulu, Drug Church, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Napalm Death. Weird metal like Meshuggah, Deftones, etc. Basically anything loud.

That's a familiar expression used by the F-C generation before me. Not said so much anymore.

First heard by most Mainers from the lips of Babs Streisand.

"Ah vey" may be F-C but I've heard it most often from elder Jewish folks. Similar to an omg.

I've got decent gear and can play bass and guitar pretty well. I also have some synths if you wanna get weirder. Do you have any demos anywhere?
Edit: I'm in the Portland area.

Jesus - This just dragged me back to my childhood in lovely Yoonty. I have no idea who taught us this, but my siblings and I all said it when one of would do something (that we most likely would report back to our parents) that was going to end up with an ass whooping.

Renewable like tide, wind and solar are expensive, unreliable, and our grid can't store energy they produce off peak to later release during peak.
A gas plant is proven and reliable, but we've decommissioned them without replacing them with something equally proven and reliable.
Nuclear is also a good option with zero carbon emissions but regulations make them expensive and waste storage is a consideration. Still better than renewable imo, people need lower electric bills.

Jesus, this takes me back. A girl on my bus in elementary school said that all the time. I never heard it anywhere else, and always just assumed she was stupid.

I've been fishing the tides there for the past two summers. All night, I can hear them jump. As the sun starts to rise, I'll see one or two before the lobster boats fire up for the day.
