when making a left turn, pulling out across one lane AND stopping right there in the lane, until a viable opening occurs.

On the Cape, Rte 6 being a single lane in each direction, is really the only/main road. It is very difficult to make a left turn when summer traffic is heavy. So what do you do, you pull out across one lane blocking traffic, wait for an opening and go.

A Cape Cod local is someone that was BORN on the cape and was raised here. To be considered a local you have to live here year round (for the older people at least 25-30 years) and have attended one of the many elementary, middle and high schools that are scattered around the place that most of us call home. I cannot stress this enough, TOURISTS listen up, just because you summer here for X amount of years does not mean you're a local, the people that live here, LOCALS, cater to you're every needs, we work our asses off to keep the people like you happy and coming back for more the next summer.......so think twice about calling yourself a local because EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US knows what it is to be a true cape codder.....and hell just to top it off, we'll out drink ANY of you any day of the week! So CHEERS to the true local cape codders!

an alcoholic mix of cranberry juice and vodka originated in Cape Cod

Having sexual relations with one or more persons in full public view whilst on a boat, either on the ocean or land-locked bodies of water, with strangers looking on. Dogging, basically, but with a nautical feel.

A drink consisting of Vodka, Cranberry Juice, Tonic Water, and garnished with a lime wedge.
Legend has it that Ted Kennedy ordered this in his later years at an elite Cape Cod Country Club. When the drink was not strong enough to his liking, he told the bartender, "You're doing it all wrong! The cranberry juice is just for the color!"

small peninsula off massachusetts that sucks money out of tourists and retired millionaires to survive, since the traditional fishing industry is slowly dying - native cod all but wiped out. beautiful beaches protected by the government since the 1950's, but that meant the locals had to give up their beach camps. basically we hate tourists but without them we'd be totally impoverished. there is nothing for kids to do so most of them destroy their brains with drugs & alcohol. everyone says they're going to leave but never manage it and stay working as a landscaper/fisherman/carpenter/waitress/cashier etc. the winters are horrible and in the summer tourists are everywhere. real estate is too expensive for anyone to have a nice house. all the land not protected by federal government is being gobbled up by rich people from far away who want to live "out in the boonies". cape cod has conservative strongholds like chatham in the south ("a quaint drinking town with a fishing problem") and liberal strongholds like provincetown, mecca for artists and homosexuals, in the north. primarily white, but recently there's been an influx of brazilians. the predominant subculture is punk, since we're all so angry at our lives but can't do anything about it. people who leave tend to stay gone. local slang includes "wicked" meaning extremely, "pisser" meaning awesome, and "wash-ashore" for someone whose family hasn't lived on cape cod for more than, say, 50 years or so...

used to stress the intensity of something. MOSTLY USED ON CAPE COD, MASS. AND BOSTON, MASS.
