You Know You're From Buffalo When...
When speaking "the" precedes the number or name of any highway (The Scajaquada, The 33, The 290)
Snow tires come standard on your car.
You can identify an "Alden" accent.
You have gotton frost bitten and sunburned in the same weekend
"Down south" means Gowanda
You bake with "soda" and drink "pop".(guilty lol)
Stop/Slow/Yield Signs..are suggestions. (well not the stop signs but yeah the other two 😉 )
You can hold an entire conversation on the best place to go for wings, a fishfry or pizza. (wings:Anchor Bar, Fish Fry:either The Log Cabin or Sport of Kings, Pizza: Matty's)
You see nothing wrong with watching fireworks downtown on July 2nd.
You not only know what the terms "snowbelt" and "lake effect" mean - you use them on a daily basis.
You save the Genny Cream Ale for special occasions. (eeeew)
You live within 1 mile of a bowling alley. (okay about 6 😉 )
Not only do you know what it is... but you look forward to "Dingus Day" (pussy willows anyone?)
You never put your winter jacket away for the summer. (freak snow storm in june anybody?)
You like to order beef on "weck" and are always surprised when someone doesn't know what "weck" is. (roll with icky salt junk on it)
You drive over 70mph on the Thruway and pass on the right. (heyyy right on red it legal...so pfft)
You leave your ski lift tickets on your jacket year round.
You know how to pronouce, Scajaquada, Cheektowaga and Depew.(Sca'jack'qiuda, Cheek'to'waga, Dee' puuuu')
The rest of the country is snowbound in the worst blizzard of the century, but you still have to walk your kids to the corner to catch the school bus. (or in my father's day walk 3 miles to the bust stop both ways)
You think nothing of crossing an international border for Chinese Food.
The acid rain is clearer than your drinking water.
When you stop and ask for directions ... you expect to get them.
You don't think Canada is to the north ... you know it's to the West.
You keep the snowplow on the front of the truck year round.
You have a favorite Greek restaurant. (Greek Isle on Transit)
When someone says they are from "the City" - you ask "Which one?" (wouldn't believe how many times i have to clarify which one)
You think Jimmy Griffin is a "real" politician (ermm something like that)
You can compute a wind chill "factor"
You eat Orange Chocolate. (mmmm next to sponge candy it's the best)
You don't have to attend the Friendship Festival to hear it!
You know the difference between imported and real Canadian beer.
You have not been on the "Maid of the Mist" - unless you had out of town company.
You've dined at "Theodore's on the Lake".
You immediatley change the channel when you hear "Hi! this is Goldie Gardner...". (wouldn't everyone?)
The winter carnival gets rained out. (yep this has happened)
You call them "Pilot Field" and the "Aud" - no matter what the signs say.(and never forget it's always gonna be Rich Stadium...not "The Ralph"
You define summer as three months of bed sledding. (construction)
Your kids have watched Sesame Street - in French and Spanish. (nods...but dont' ask me to count, i can't remember unfortunately)
You don't get a coughing fit from one sip of Vernors. (mmmm yummy addictive stuff)
"Gridlock" means driving home from a football game. (or bison game,hockey game)
You wince when someone uses the abbreviation "OJ".
"Rapid Transit" means hitting all the green lights. (especially with my mother driving
)
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Buffalo.
