A-B
Allstonmas / Allston Christmas
Labor Day Weekend or Aug. 30/Sept. 1 if Labor Day comes late. The cornucopia of stuff, from appliances to furniture that magically appears on streets across the neighborhood as people move out (and in) of their apartments:
In need of a car if I'm going to do some serious Allstonmas/Mission Hill Xmas shopping.
-- James Peter.
Bullshit
Adjective meaning "very upset," as in: "So, I was running to catch the T, and the driver closed the door on me and drove away. I was so mad - I was bullshit."

Bulkie roll
A soft, fluffy roll, you know, like a Kaiser roll. Only in Boston are they sometimes served at Chinese restaurants.
Kelly Holmes
Bubbla
That's a water fountain to you, bub.
Bizah note: People in Wisconsin also drink water from "bubblers."
Breakdown lane
Highway shoulder. Also, an oxymoron - the last place you want to break down in greater Boston is in the breakdown lane, especially during rush hour, when it becomes the high-speed lane (in some places, even legally). The state has built a series of emergency turn-outs along Rte. 128 so you can pull out of the breakdown lane if, in fact, your car breaks down.
