You Know you're from Philly, Top 20 Signs

Here are the top 20 signs you know you're from Philly, as obviously I am, which has inspired my blogs.


20. You realize that your favorite dessert is "wooder ice" (it comes in churry, strawburry and other assawrded flavers).
19. You know what a Hoagie is.
18. You find yourself using "Yo" and "youse guys" when talking long-distance to your family members.
17. You know how to spell Schuylkill.
16. You know what a "Mummer" is, and are disappointed if you can't catch at least highlights of the parade.
15. You find yourself at a nice restaurant thinking, "I wonder if they have cheese steaks?" This is my Dad.
14. You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of state friends find it incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
13. You can eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same. (Those from NY find this "barbaric".)
12. You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Moon, Virginville, Paradise, Mars, and Slippery Rock are PA towns.
11. You believe the car on your left, with turn signal flashing and the driver pointing at your lane, wants you to close the gap with the car in front of you.
10. You can't eat french fries without Cheez Whiz.
9. Street people greet you by your first name.
8. You don't think Wawa sounds funny.
7. You snub a cheese steak that isn't on an Amoroso roll.
6. Your parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles all live on the same block.
5. You can't imagine breakfast without scrapple.
4. A vacation down the Jersey shore (pronounced "shoore") is better than going to an island (there's more stuff to do, plus you know everybody).
3. You know where to find the Rocky statue.
2. You're either a Pat's or a Genos, never both.
AND THE NUMBER ONE SIGN YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM PHILLY........
1. You buy a soft pretzel at a traffic light without wondering where the guy goes to wash his hands and you don't even care!
My Favorite, as I love these. Side note, whenever my mom would take us for ice cream I would get a pretzel and people thought she was punishing me.
