Once a Pennsylvanian, ALWAYS a Pennsylvanian!
About Pennsylvanians:
You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but 'Philly' and New Jersey has always been ' Jersey .'
we say the same thing in NY and NJ
We don't go to the beach; we go 'down the shore.'
said the same in NJ and NY
You refer to Pennsylvania as 'PA' (pronounced Pee-Ay).
How many other states do that??
again, same in NY and NJ
'You guys' (or even 'youze guys', in some places) is a
perfectly acceptable reference to a group of men and women.
Ha! You stole that from Brooklyn!
You know how to respond to the question 'Djeetyet?' (Did you eat yet?)
Again, you dirty thieves! Brooklyn! and the correct reply would be: NoD'jew?
You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr (Brin Mar), Wilkes-Barre (Wilks Barry), Schuylkill (School kill), Tamaqua(Ta ma kwa), Kutztown (Ya just gotta know this one), Tunkahannock (Ton can uck), Bala Cynwyd( Bal a Kinwood), Duquesne (Do kane), Monongahela (Sound it out...really!) and Conshohocken (Con sha hock in).
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 can only purchase alcoholic bevs in a liquor store here too. Not even beer in deli's or supermarkets
Words like 'hoagie,' 'crick,' 'chipped ham,' 'dippy eggs', 'sticky buns,' 'shoo-fly pie,' 'lemon sponge pie', 'pierogies' and 'pocketbook' actually mean something to you. (By the way, that last one's PA slang for a purse!)
pocketbook is NY. thief!
You not only heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several colors.
I love Birch Beer! We used to pull the bark off the trees and suck on it for the flavor!
You know the difference between a cheese steak and a pizza steak sandwich, and you know that you also can't get a really good one anywhere outside of the Philly area. (Except maybe in Atlantic City on the boardwalk)
You don't eat anything off the boardwalk unless you have a hankering for the explosive shits! And I make the best cheesesteaks period! Pizza steak is disgusting.
You can identify drivers from New York , New Jersey , Maryland or other neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits.
Funny we say the same about you! :p
A traffic jam in Lancaster County is 10 cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn carriage on the highway. (And remember ...that's Lank-ister!)
Ok don't laugh but I've been known to block two lanes to give the poor horse a break.
As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were.
Didn't we all?
You actually understand all this. It's scary, isn't it!
Yup!
YEAH! THAT 'S GOOD OL' 'PA' AND WE LOVE I T !
