Meet South Philly’s foul-mouthed grandma

Taylor Farnsworth min read

This 87-year-old South Philly grandmother sure can hold her liquor.

In the video, filmed by her granddaughter Alyssa Pagliaccetti, this South Philly grandmother talks about drinking and going out—with an interesting perspective. In her 87-years of life, she’s sure lived a little.

 In the video, Pagliaccetti’s grandmother talks about alcohol (she likes twisted teas, but dislikes beer, or horse piss as she calls it), grinding and, well, just a lot of filthy fun.

Oh, and she “taught mostly every guy in South Philly how to jitterbug.”

What do you think of this filthy South Philly grandma?

        And furthermore… This woman is clearly loosing it… Shame on these people for taking this video and using it for jokes. Whats next? Siblings of mentally ill people get them all drunk and rambling on video and post that for fun? I know it probably already happens… But will it get reposted on Passyunk Post??? I’m flabbergasted…
