No REALLY!!! THIS scares me!!
And here's why. Each # represents each paragraph that is listed::
1. True
2. True
3. OMG!!!! That is so me!! But not only saying "You guys" they forgot to add in "yous" which I happen to use alot, though I try not to say it as much.
4. No, who the hell says that? Not even my dad's parents ever said that.
5. Uhh....some I can, not all of those names
6. What the hell is a Mummer??!!
7. True dat, though I'm not sure if they still do that anymore. Though I think if the kids who were going to go hunt, they just took those days off of school
8. True
9. I wouldn't know, I don't recall being at many weddings in PA
10. Yes, in fact, the only time we had our candles out was during X-mas but then later I persuade mom to keep them out a little bit longer
11. Yes
12. Yes
13. Not all the time. Hey, Heinz stuff is never cheap, we po folks could only afford what we could even if it was the cheap brand
14. UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH...........shoo fly cake or pie either one is sooooooooooooo good and I haven't had one in AGES!!!!!!!!!
15. What the hell is wrong about eating cold pizza, even for breakfast? I'm sure its not just a PA thing
16. How funny, I was just thinking about scrapple the other day when I asked bubba if he ever ate it. Dad LOVED the stuff, I thought it tasted gross. All it is to me, unless I'm wrong, is nothing but pig fat and other parts of the pig they don't use for reg. meat and just grind it all up, well actually, you cook all of it in a really big kettle over a fire and keep stirring. Pour the mixture into bread pans and let it cool till its a solid form. Then once you go eat it, you fry it up. Can't remember what else they added in it, cornmeal perhaps? And mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... I LOVE Lebanon Bologna.
17. Nope, never went to those places for fieldtrips. When you live 30mins from Gettysburg, you tend to go there just about every single fieldtrip in school.
18. Now THIS is what scares me and I can now show bubba I ain't talking shit! I say "red up" all the time!! Bubba doesn't understand me when I say that. I usually say "red up the table" or "red up *insert room here*". Though the thing they are missing is saying the word "awhile" which in our terms means "do it now" not later.
19. Wing night? Can't say that I have
20. Yes, I do think ppl from Philly and Pitts talk funny.
21. What IS the hype about Rolling Rock Beer? Tastes like SHIT!
22. I never been to any of those beaches..... EVER *sobs*
23. Yes, all but the pop. We don't say pop where I'm from in PA, we just call it soda or whatever softdrink is available.
24. True
25. No
26. No, cause we even get that here in TX too, its what winter is duh
27. I knew some of them were towns, not all of them
28. Right
29. WHAT?? Never heard of that card game
30. Wow, birch beer came in all those colors? I only knew of red, brown and gold
31. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!! POTPIE!! How I miss it soooo!! (especially mom's)
32. YES!!! I always called them dippy eggs, its what I grew up with my parents calling them that as well
33. YES! It is FILLING! (perhaps stuffing but totally NOT dressing as it says) Filling in PA also DOES NOT consist of corn bread mix, its made out of reg. BREAD CUBES! Something that Texans DO NOT believe in cause I can't find SOFT bread cubes anywhere. I have to have mom send me bags of the stuff.
34. I guess
35. Well DUH!
36. Yes about knowing about Yuengling but no, that too is shitty beer. Only old ppl drink it that I know of.
37. WTF!!! A mango??!! What crack are these ppl smoking?
38. No
39. YES! I lived outside of the areas that had the potato chips, pretzel, apple plants, paper mills. The local chip and pretzel places were UTZ and Snyders (of Hanover), Martins (yummm! Love their bbq waffle chips), and Hershey was about a 2hr drive away
40. Sure
41. already repeated
42. already repeated
43. Why is that? Not only are their chicken corn soups great but so are their baked chickens.
44. All but outen the lights, who says that aside from the Waltons?
45. Yes
46. Yes and doesn't everyone?
47. FUCK YES!!!! PA roads are THE WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
48. No
49. I guess
50. True unless you have a redneck out of place up in Yankee land
51. I guess so, can't say I recall if I ever tried Godiva
52. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE! Thank god our school district started with a C. Conewago Valley
53. Again, what is with the shitty Rolling Rock?!
54. Don't know
55. No
56. No
57. No, we say GO BACK HOME TO MARYLAND where you belong!!! Its what ya get when you live 30 mins from the Maryland line and we don't tax our clothing
58. No
59. No
60. I think so
61. No
62. No
You Know You're From Pennsylvania When... |
You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but "Philly." And New Jersey has always been "Jersey." You refer to Pennsylvania as "PA." "You guys" is a perfectly acceptable reference to a group of men & women. You know how to respond to the question "Djeetyet?" (Didyoueatyet?) You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre, Schuylkill, Bala Cynwyd, Duquesne, New Tripoli, Tunkhannock, Punxsutawney, Tamaqua, Susquehanna, Allegheny, and Monongahela. You know what a "Mummer" is, and are disappointed if you can't catch at least highlights of the parade. The first day of buck and the first day of doe season are school holidays. You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye. You can't go to a wedding without hearing the "Chicken Dance," at least one Polka and either an Italian song (sung in Italian,) or "Hava Nagila." At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most of their windows all year long. You know what a "Hex sign" is. 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. You own only three condiments "A-1, Heinz 57 and Heinz ketchup". Words like "hoagie", "crick", "chipped ham", "sticky buns", "shoo-fly pie", "pierogies" and "pocketbook" actually mean something to you. You can eat cold pizza (even for breakfast) and know others who do the same. You know several places to purchase or that serve Scrapple, Summer Sausage (Lebanon Bologna), and Hot Bacon Dressing. One of the highlights of your life was a field trip to Penn's Cave and Horseshoe curve. You know exactly what to do when your mother tells you to "red up" your room. You know the time and location of every "wing night" in a 20 mile radius. You don't think people from Philly or Pittsburgh talk funny. You don't understand all the hype about Rolling Rock beer; You've been drinking it for years even though Iron City is better. You consider an exotic vacation to be a trip to Ocean City, Virginia Beach, or Myrtle Beach. Words like "hoagie", "chipped ham", and "pop" actually mean something to you. You think very little of an Amish buggy on the road. You learned long ago how to "step carefully" around the buggy tie-ups in the supermarket parking lot. You can go 2 weeks in winter without sunshine and think this is normal. You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Virginville, Paradise, Mars, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns. There is no such thing as a "Philly Cheesesteak". It's just called a "Cheesesteak." You know that Eucre is a card game and not a form of vomiting. You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know that it comes in several colors: Red, Blue, White, Brown, Gold. You know what REAL potpie is. You ask the waitress for "dippy eggs" for breakfast. Your turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing." You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike. When it snows, they put cinders on the roads instead of sand. Know that Yuengling is pronounced "Ying-ling," and believe that it really is a premium beer You know that a green pepper is not a pepper at all but a "mango". You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word "snow." You live within two miles of a plant that makes potato chips, corn chips, pretzels, candy, or ice cream, or that packages turkeys, beans, or bologna. You can stop along the road to buy fruits, vegetables, or crafts on the "honor system." You know what REAL pot pie is. YOUR turkey has "filling," not "stuffing," and most certainly, NOT "dressing." You know that chicken corn soup from a fire house is the most nearly perfect food on earth. You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today," and "They're calling for snow." You've heard of distelfinks and hex signs. You only buy your beer and soda by the case. You think the roads in any other state are smooth. You know the Penn State cheer, and although you've never attended Penn State, you are a most obnoxious Penn State fan. Hearing horses clopping down a paved street doesn't bring you to the window to see what's going on outside. You never see any Confederate Flags, except on the Gettysburg Battlefield. You prefer Hershey's Chocolate to Godiva. School closings due to snow take the radio stations a half an hour to finish, because just about every town has its own school district. You have the Rolling Rock bottle memorized: "From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment. . . . " Elect pro-life Democrats and pro-choice Republicans for Governor Frequently go "with," e.g., "You going to the market? Mind if I come with?" Refer to something as "a whole nother," e.g., "That's a whole nother issue." You REALLY HATE antiquers. On Sunday mornings you would scream "Go back to Jersey!" at least once on the way to church. When you were a kid and somebody really pissed you off, you said, "I'm gonna deck you!" You know the expression, "Hey naw! Watchya dewin'?" You know where to buy "Opera Fudge" and that it has absolutely no connection to the Opera. The only Jewish people that you've ever met have been from New York or New Jersey. You love the Phillies (unless they stink) in which case you love the Orioles (unless they stink) in which case you solemnly swear that you've never even liked the Phillies or the Orioles, but have always been a Penn State fan. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Pennsylvania. |
