Upper Darby is in deep Southeast PA, but that's close to Central PA
for government work, especially since it was done over sixty years
ago. I learned IN THE as a child in NE Texas. Nowadays, I usually use
"blow chunk," which I read in The National Lampoon, in the '70's. When
I tried using this as a "new" expression, I was told that it was
already some ten years old, among former U PA frat boys. Well, it was
new to me. Oddly, I've *heard* only "blow *chunks*," in the wild.

Youneverknow.
