Not a bad rapper to get the ladies to loosen up and make regretable decisions later that night.

All 3 are highways but there are differences.
Highways: While all 3 are highways not all highways are all 3. A highway many times connects cites and towns to eachother.
Interstate: Is a highway that connects states to states. Can a town be along an interstate? Sure but it does not have to be.
Freeways: Is a highway but not all highways are freeways. Especially its a highway that is controlled with off ramps, stop signs, intersection traffic lights
How would you define a Hershey Highway?

What do you call the side roads; access roads, feeder roads, frontage roads, service roads? What if I call a soda a coke, is that regional or taboo now?
I thought it was a rural vs city thing. We had âthe highwayâ because it was the big road that led in and out of town. Here âthe highwayâ is typically the one interstate that leads in and out of town. If youâre talking about any other highway you call it âHighway 60â or just â60â. If youâre giving directions, when you get to âthe highwayâ it means the first big road you come to that meets any definition above.
I thought it was like this everywhere outside of cities. Everywhere Iâve been where some local hayseed is talking Iâve used highway in those terms and nobody has ever not known what I meant. I could see some confusion in big cities but I only ever call those highways by their actual names.
If somebody confused or corrected my use of highway I would assume theyâve never been outside a city.
I donât think I ever call them by anything other than a name or number. âTake Russell to the 95 to the 215 to the 15 and get off at Spring MountainâŚâ

The nearest interstate to me is about 45 minutes away. So when someone says âget on the highway,â youâre literally going to be on three different highways before you get to I-75. It just sounds so damn dumb to refer to the interstate as âthe highway.â
Less semantics, more hot takes
Literally the whole OG thinks you have a boyfriend called Russell now.

I donât believe you. What exit? 
There ya go. You live in some futuristic froofroo hoity-toity metroplex with three highways AND an interstate. Well arenât you fancy in your gold plated carriage!
Literally nobody would call the interstate âthe highwayâ in that scenario. You have misheard the conversation
70 and The 70 are also part of the local vernacular

Are you arguing that sayin âtheâ or using âIâ in front of the number isnât âusing the numberâ of the road?
All I said was name and/or number. So what you said fell under what I said I can see small towns referring to their one road as just the highway or something.
Saying âthe 70â is a very specific one that I think is a completely so-cal thing I think. Thatâs like the people who say they stand on line instead of standing in line. You know that guy is from around New York.
Basketball is a fucking stupid sport. âLetâs invent a sport where the goals are so high you canât really reach it unless you are way above average height which means most people canât play itâ.
