Southie

In a recent Forbes post raving about "SMILF," I referred to its main character, who is from South Boston, is a "southie." Apparently, this was a crime against Boston, and Boston.com called me out for my error. Southie is a place, not a person. I regret the mistake, and I will be more vigilant with how I refer to Southies in the future.
