Words you can keep
Come on is a fast phrase which is meant to persuade someone into understanding a different perspective.

It can be used to attempt to help someone agree/convince them that you have their best intentions in mind.

Come on can also mean that somebody is being too slow, and they need to do something faster.

"Come on" isn't meant to be used literally.

However, the phrase is common, yet vague, nondescript, and should not be used.
I'm trying to get you to agree with me; come on, man!

A phrase that can be used to instantaneously pacify any situation, as depicted on a South Park episode.
After it became known that the phrase was used to rectify the long-standing altercation between the Bloods and the Crips, people told the Israelis and Palestinians to just "come on", and they all finally came to their senses. A few months later, the guys working for a New World Order were told to come on, and they instantly lost interest in their plans for world domination. Later everyone got together and smoked a bowl.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
