Atlanta
-Rush hour traffic is more of a game of Russian roulette than a time of day.
-If you need a ladder or a mattress, you can find it on the highway.
-You know to turn left where the Kroger used to be. Even though they tore it down before you were born.
-You aren't from around here.
-You know somebody who was. Her grandfather used to be the pastor of her home church.
-When somebody provides the direction "and then you go down the hill," you know you are going to get lost.
Moved to ATL area 10 years ago! So true!!!!
Also, a midnight snack is a trip to the closest waffle house0 -

5. you pay federal taxes but have no voting rights. UGH!!
6. everyone dresses in conservative clothing (think suits and dresses, not that there's anything wrong with that

Maine - Mainah / Maniac
- The letter "R" is wicked overrated. It's lobstah, not lobster.
- We say wicked. A lot.
- 4 inches of snow is a dusting.
- You crave an Italian sandwich weekly.
- You know what an Italian sandwich is.
- You crave a whoopie pie with your Italian sandwich.
- LL Bean isn't just a store, it's a way of life.
- Maine has 4 seasons. Tourist, Foliage, Ski and Mud.
- You know what a red hot dog is and you eat one.
- Just about everyone you know has hit a deer or moose on the highway!
Ayuh!
The Dirty Lew, the Old Port, good times!
and anything above Augusta is Up Noth, even though its only 1/4 of the way up the state because the whole top half is nothing but trees and moose, and where people go "Upta Camp" on weekends....
southern maine is the bottom 10%, central maine is the rest of the bottom quarter, up north is 25-50% up, and the top half is camp!
Wives/girlfriends are referred to as "My old lady".
When men bump into each other in public it's always the same thing "Still upta the same place? How's the old lady?"0 -
I will do Pittsburgh due to that being the closest city to me anyone will recognize:
1) If you get cut off on the parkway it is mandatory you "roll dan the window at dem dere jagaffs".
2) Parking spots are saved by lawn chairs and couches are found on front porches.
3) Sporting evens are beyond insanity: tailgates last for 12+ hours, half the people you came with will not make it into the event and/or be kicked out of the event, you will drown in a sea of black and gold, sub freezing temps do not mandate you must be clothed.
4) It is perfectly acceptable to wear a pair of "still toe" boots with full athletic gear.
5) Getting drunk is a three day event. Especially if you go drinking "Dahntahn" or to the "Sauside".
6) You have been hit on by a "Stiller" or have seen Big Ben out and have then made a rape joke.
7) Pot holes in the spring= see yah ball bearings.
8) The entire city runs out of road salt AT LEAST once every two days...which is odd being there is a chance of snow 75% of the year.
9) "Redd up the hause." means you better run the "sweeper" and throw a load in the "warsh".

You Know Your From Buffalo When.....
I'm from Buffalo. We eat chicken wings, not Buffalo wings. Jack Kemp is a quarterback, not a politician. We drink Labatt Blue and love it. Mighty Taco always has preference over Taco Bell. Pop, not soda and Pepsi, not Coke.
They are sneakers not tennis shoes. It's a sucker, not a lollipop. Bison chip dip, La Nova Pizzeria, Aunt Rosie's Loganberry, Chevettas Chicken, Peter K's Potato Pancakes and Ted's Hot Dogs are all too familiar...not to forget Taffy's Shakes and Charlie the butcher.
A fake ID is unnecessary, there is always Canada...But we have them anyway. Our bars don't close until 4am and we DO sell beer in a grocery store (Tops or Wegmans), which always makes for early starts and late nights. Jim's steak out at 4 in the morning is calling it an early night...
We never cuss, but we swear entirely too much. We know that a 65 mph speed limit really means 80. We will cut you off, swear, and give you the finger if you are keeping up AND do it all in the snow, while expecting nothing less in return. Driving in the snow not only comes naturally, it is fun.
We know what Artvoice and Nightlife are and we either love them or try to burn every copy we see. We start the weekends off right at Thursdays in the square while enjoying beer, free music, and an interesting crowd.
We lived through Wide Right, The Forward Lateral, and No Goal. Dubbed by Dan Marino as "the meanest fans because no-one actually wants to live here..."
We all know he wouldn't stand one winter up here. We love the Bills (no matter what) and accept that it takes 2-4 hours to get home from a game. Nothing closes in 3 feet of snow or -20 windchills...In fact, that's how we prefer to tailgate.
We can correctly pronounce, spell, and identify Chippewa, Scajaquada, Lackawanna, Cheektowaga, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Olean, Tonawanda and Gowanda without hesitation. When giving direction it's not "take I-90 to Route 33 east" it's " take the 90 to the 33 east"..."the" is not an option.
We are 30 minutes from another country, one of the seven wonders of the world, and even a few beaches. It's the second largest city in New York.
Deb
YES!!! Chicken wings from anywhere not in Buffalo are just plain wrong. I have some Bison chip dip today with me to dip my vegetables in! And Chiavetta's chicken will be dinner tonight :-) I always thought that saying "the" in front of the highway numbers was typical, until I realized on vacation that NOONE says that.

Michigan:
1. You always hold up your hand to point to where you live.
2. It's pop DAM*IT, NOT SODA.
3. It's an annual thing to snowboard off the roof of the house before shoveling the snow off.
4. You go to a large parking lot after first snowfall each year and do donuts to get the feel of the car in snow.
5. 80 on the highway with 3 feet of snow on the ground is a given.
6. It's the YOOP. Not the U.P.0 -
Texas when:

I'm from the South...here'z da rulez:
1. Pull up your pants and take that earring out. You look like an idiot.
2. It's called a "gravel road." No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your BMW. So, drive or git outta the way.
3. Yeah, we all started hunting and fishing before we started to school. Sure, we saw "Bambi" but we got over it.
4. Go ahead. Bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod--but don't cry when a catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for that little 10 inch bass you're fishing for--we call it "bait."
5. That bent-over farmer did more work before breakfast than you do all week, including your visits to the gym. He does't need your respect but he surely DESERVES IT.
6. If your cell phone rings while we are sitting in the duck blind, we'll shoot it. You might hope you don't have it to your ear at the time.
7. If you bring "Coke" into our homes, it'd better be brown, wet, and best served over a glass of ice.
8. You have a $60,000 car? We're not impressed. Heck, we drive tractors, cotton pickers and hay balers that cost a quarter million dollars--and we only drive them a few weeks each year.
9. Yeah, we eat catfish, deer, rabbit, and squirrel. You want sushi? It's available at the bait shop.
10. What's that? People are waving at you in your car and smiling at you on the streets? We call it being friendly. Try to understand the concept.0 -

Number 2 and 5 apply to Glasgow as well. And 3 to some extent (sadly).0 -
You are from Moscow when you always run or read walking. Your phone never shuts up. You're overdressed everywhere abroad or even in airports. You know what's real traffic jam0

2. Everyone thinks you support Rangers or Celtic

west Texas - yes, we make distinctions. There are no large towns where we live - so we just say west Texas.
1. Our tea is always assumed to be ice cold and sweet.
2. Chivalry is not here. Boys still get smacked on the back of the head for not opening a door for another person - be it man, woman or child. Girls get pinched on their upper arms when they forget to say thank you to said boy. Please, thank you and you're welcome had better be said or you will wish you had.
3. It has been 90 degrees and the kids playing outside one day and 30 and snowing the next. We are prepared for all types of weather - just look in our closets - tank tops next to parkas.
4. Sitting on a tailgate and visiting is considered a night out - and a good one at that.
5. A finger raised while someone is driving by is called a hello gesture - it is not someone flipping you off - it is called saying hello and being friendly.
6. Homecoming mums... look them up.
7. We don't call a tow truck - we call our neighbor with a truck, winch and flat bed.
8. We look in envy and jealous over a brand new 1 ton dually - the mercedes and BMW? eh...whatever.
9. We understand that the best parking is NOT next to the store - it is underneath the shade tree in the back 40 where the blaring sun won't bake your seats.
P.S. If you don't know what the back 40 is... ***sigh***0 -

If someone you know doesn't like camping or being outdoors, you scoff at them
Oh, and how could I forget... probably the only state where there's a commercial on TV that states "Buy a truck, get a gun!"0 -
You know you're from Philly when...
5. You can spell Schuylkill, Manayunk, and Conshohocken without hesitation.
4. Your favorite dessert is "wooder ice” and you call sprinkles on top of your ice cream cone "jimmies."

2. You snub a cheese steak that is not with Wiz and on an Amoroso roll.
