Jawn, Mac Machine, Bol: Quinta Brunson Teaches Stephen How To Speak Philly

"It's a hoagie." I feel that in my soul lol

The Mac Machine was a regional name used by Philadelphia based banks in the 70s when they first came out. The word Mac stood for money access card. They were because of the new bank debit card that the banking industry built them. Also so people could get money out of their account 24/7 , 365 days a year.

[@IAmJudy1111]

Pittsburgh too 😀

[@wearenottogetheranymore2658]

Wow I didn’t know that. I always say Mac machine

[@dianeatpeace337]

Another old-timey weird regional banking factoid: In Rhode Island, ATMs were called 'Fast Freddy's' and had a Fred Flintstone logo (it was early 1980s).

[@Dorothyannith]

@@dianeatpeace337 wow i didn't know that that's pretty cool! I grew up in warwick and born in 95 so the only fast Freddie's I know is near the airport in the gas station! 🤣

[@JillKnapp]

MAC Machines in north Jersey, too! MAC machines were everywhere in the 80s and 90s. Sometimes I still slip and still call it that. I can picture that Atari-rainbow-esque logo perfectly. :-)

[@gregyohngy]

A Mac Machine is what the regional banks about 25+ years called their ATM network. A Mac card was usable for some ATM machines. I used the term Money Access Center just yesterday forgetting that I should have said ATM to the person not located in the USA.

[@rejoyce318]

I still “tap the MAC” at the Wawa when I need cash.

[@ryanclove]

Wit/witout refers to onions not cheese. In a cheesesteak order you say the name of the cheese u want then follow it with if u want onions or not. "Can I have Cheese Wiz Wit" aka a cheesesteak with cheese whiz and onions. "Provolone witout" aka cheesesteak with provolone cheese and no onions

[@ScottGunnersTube]

👆🏼 This is the correct explanation. Extra points for using the best 2 cheesesteak cheeses as the cheese examples 🙏🏻.

MAC machines weren't just in the Philadelphia area. Used them in SW Pennsylvania as well. The marching bands had hoagie fundraisers and you can buy them anywhere in PA. That's why it was so weird when Subway came in and we started hearing "subs".

[@Rouxdeeroo]

Subs have different bread. It took moving to the south to realize hoagie rolls weren't everywhere

[@Sheila75]

My BFF and I still use the term “tap mac” when we need money from an ATM. Money Access Center. #PhillyFTW

[@carrollmurphy2289]

Me too! I still call all ATMs Mac Machines!

[@pattieodonnell723]

My sister in law asked me last night "Is a MAC the same as an ATM?" And yes, we're both Philly AF

[@richremaly8418]

As I said before. The Gerard bank of Philadelphia was the first bank to provide M.A.C machines. Other banks soon came out with their own machines. Where the Mac stood for money access card . The ATM stood for automatic teller /transaction machines

[@Juschillin2024]

Mac machine is a tri-state thing. I'm from Jersey and that's what we called it. I moved to Virginia and was asked where a "Most" machine was. I had to ask...."what's a Most machine?" 🤣 the person explained it and that's when I understood what it was!

[@juicesnap]

South Jersey? I grew up in north Jersey (Essex county) and I think that I never heard the word "Mac machine"... Could also be that I was raised by west coast parents so I always heard atm and left jersey before I had money where I would use that phrase with people outside of family.

[@mr_wildwest]

Most machine lol, I haven't heard that in years, that what we used to say in DC 🤣

[@saranmartin452]

I too learned when I went away to college that only Philly people used to term Mac Machine. My freshman year of college, no one knew what I meant. 😂

[@David-oo8yo]

love how many places stole philly terms. really is the best city. birthplace of originality.

[@Foodbrarian]

Jersey girl here! MAC machine is what I always call it!

[@DungForever]

As someone who has now lived in Philly for almost a decade, Jawn ALWAYS throws me off.

[@jake1332]

Throughout the 1990s, every ATM in Pennsylvania had a big MAC sign on top of it. Nowhere did they say ATM. And the card you used said MAC, Money Access Card on it. Didn't ATMs across the country have a large MAC banner over them?

[@EmpathyAbounds]

They didn't. I spent a lot of time between Philly and the DC area. They weren't called Macs here. (DC area) I spent a lot of time converting my speech depending upon where I was. When in Philly, I called it Mac. Back home, I called it ATM. I was around to see Most as well here in the DC area but it's been ATM longer.

[@EmpathyAbounds]

It could have been letting people know who dealt with MAC, that they too could get money out. But they all weren't MAC machines. I know that for sure.

[@andariegos9466]

Growing up in South Jersey that’s what we always called it as well. I live in FL now and it’s still a MAC machine to me. 🤷🏽‍♀️😄 Jawn was used a lot but I personally did not use it much.

[@mrstorres103]

But Wit isn't cheese it's onions 😂 Wiz Wit, Wiz Witout

[@star8442]

Me and my peeps in north Philly never order our cheesesteaks saying “wit or without”. That must be a south Philly thing.

[@kymang4327]

That’s a Genos or Pats thing, because no one but tourists orders a cheese steak with cheese wiz 🤮 and a few outliers.

[@EmpathyAbounds]

I was going to say, I have never ordered with cheese whiz. Didn't even know that was a thing until a couple years ago. I don't live in Philly and not from Philly but I'm there a lot and have been the last 30 years.

[@SirrCommander]

4th time commenting in hopes Stephen will see my comment and ❤ it and pin it . And as a Philly native Jawn , it’s a noun . It means anything and everything I’ll use it in a sentence . “damn yung boul, i messed up my jawn driving the other day cause i was staring at this bad jawn and ended up hitting the curb jawn”

[@dawudabdullaah6977]

You had me cracking up on this one!!!

[@dtoxnotbotox]

Wit/wit out means onions with or with out. "provolone wit" cheesesteak with provy and onions.

[@naoise555]

yeah, dat's what I dought.

[@dawudabdullaah6977]

To add some clarity...in the 70's Philly's First Pennsylvania Bank was the national testing ground for Money Access Centers or MAC Machines--which everyone else calls ATM's. Most of their branches in the greater Philly area had them--which is why "ol heads" in Philly & South Jersey say "tap Mac".

[@danieldekok6949]

I'll be happy when JAWN is allowed in SCRABBLE.

[@dawudabdullaah6977]

Jawn is in Webster's Dictionary now, so go ahead and use it. The letter J is worth a lot of points.

“It’s a hoagie.”

[@SquiLLs]

"Wit/witout" is literally only a thing at Pat's steaks (which sucks btw).

[@SonicCDspeedrunArchives]

Young boul was salty too, cause that jawn refers to onions and not whiz. Pat's, whiz, all tourist tropes.

[@SquiLLs]

@@SonicCDspeedrunArchives Right lol why did they spell boul as "bol"?

[@SonicCDspeedrunArchives]

​@@SquiLLs cause honestly there's no rules about how to spell slang. Like it feels way more intuitive to type "that's my joint right there!" because that's technically the word we're *saying* but it just happens to be pronounced jawn. Now it's well known enough for corporate entities to put the word on billboards and ads and what not, but do you think they know we were actually saying joint all these decades? Same thing about how the internet still can't figure out what exactly salty is supposed to mean after all this time. lol!

[@SquiLLs]

@@SonicCDspeedrunArchives But I've never seen boul spelled as "bol". I didn't know what word they were talking about at first. That's like spelling jawn as "John". The spelling matters to a degree.

[@SonicCDspeedrunArchives]

@@SquiLLs That's a great point and you're absolutely right!

[@SonicCDspeedrunArchives]

Young boul was salty too, cause that jawn refers to onions and not whiz. Pat's, whiz; both tourist tropes.

[@matt.stevick]

I worked in a bank (I’m across south Philly Jersey side) and half the customers called it a Mac machine.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

MAC machines were also in NYC (at least in the ‘90s). “I need to stop by the MAC before we go to the party.” There was a mix of ATMs and MACs in NYC. I haven’t lived there since ‘99, so MACs might be gone now, like Betamax.

[@DavidSmith-zu3hr]

MAC stands for Money Access Center

[@jimh7146]

Correct, Money Access Center, not Money Access Card. So you use your MAC Card when you meet MAC for your money / tap MAC.

[@allisonroberts8430]

[@nicoleschaller2027]

[@kele1264]

Philly/South Jersey. Yup, ATM machines called MAC machines. When we go to withdraw money using the MAC machines, we say "I'm gonna tap MAC".

[@brandydouble338]

From Pittsburgh area....ask a kid where the Mac machine is got a clueless stare. It was a PA thing....once.

[@azizip171]

@brandydouble338, I read your comment to my daughter who is a Pittsburgh public school teachers. She confirms what you wrote and told me that when she's around kids at school and casually says that she has to "go to the mac machine", they don't understand what she means. But they understand her when she consciously switches her referent and says she has to "go to an ATM". But her ten year old daughter (my granddaughter) knows both terms for these machines, partly because "mac machine" is the term that her mother still uses and that is what I always call them. Btw, , none of us have ever heard anyone in Pittsburgh say that they are going to "tap the mac". I don't think that saying was ever a Pittsburgh thing.

[@statlerwaldorf8881]

Wit/Witout is about whether to add onions to a cheesesteak, not wiz. A typical order would be "wiz witout," which would be a cheesesteak with cheese whiz but no onions.

[@tskmaster3837]

"Mac machine" still makes more sense than "atm machine".

[@Nerd502]

Not me just learning people don’t know what a Mac Machine is. 😳 I’m from South Jersey 😂

[@markcrismond3247]

Wit/Witout has nothing to do with Whiz. It's onions. You order a cheesesteak Whiz Wit if you want onions and Whiz

[@soulualitysoulism]

I had a few lessons on the list Irish gaelic language in Australia there is a statue in the town bogan fat belly wearing thongs it's a trashy statue. Yet in Irish gaelic the meaning of bogan is man with a bit (lot) of bitch at the front. I write so much that I remember my lessons I had.
