Sounds like it could be NOTHING but fun. I was going to stop by and see who was doing the violating before I made up my mind whether I wanted to trespass or not.. lol
That is a funny one. I have seen "Trespassers will be shot" after "No Trespassing". And "Trespassers will be eaten". Not violated, though. NOTHING but strange.

I have a sign in my shop that says "There is NOTHING here worth your life".

Never heard this term before.

Mahoff: The term used by Philadelphians for anyone in a position of power, authority or prominence. Usually said as a phrase, "big mahoff." She's a big mahoff, so we have to do it her way.

It seems like every Philadelphia native knows it, but few outside the city do. One learns something from nothing every day.

We've certainly been in some of those areas. That's why we work in NOTHING less than pairs.

Must be NOTHING but some Philly cheesesteak. What is a "mahoff," big or otherwise, and is that only a Philly term? : WHYY

A NOTHING Violation is much like a parking ticket. You read it, crumble it up and throw it in your glove box. If you would prefer another form of violating we can make special dispensation.. lol

Gee, I not only revived the thread and NOTHING but woke you guys from your slumber, but I actually taught you all something too? Give me the NOTHING award for the day........

I'm surprised you New Yorkers don't know that expression. I didn't realize it was just Philly-speak. I bet Nucky will be familiar with it. K, on the other hand, probably had his mind going in another direction. Those west coasters........ Lol
