 TALKING  PENNSYLVANIAN - 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 don't go to the beach; we go 'down the shore.' 
  
 You refer to  Pennsylvania as 'PA' (pronounced Pee-Ay). 
 How many other states do that??
 
'You guys' (or even 'youze guys', in some places) is a  
perfectly acceptable reference to a group of men and women.
   
You know how to respond to the question 'Djeetyet?' (Did you eat yet?)  
 
You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr,  Wilkes-Barre ,  Schuylkill ,  Tamaqua, Kutztown, Tunkahannock, Bala Cynwyd, Duquesne, Monongahela and Conshohocken.
   
And we know  Lancaster is pronounced Lank-ister, not  Lan-kaster.
   
You know what a 'Mummer' is, and are disappointed if you can't catch at least highlights of the parade.  
 
At least five people on your block have electric 'candles' in all or most of their windows all year long.  
 
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.  

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!) 
 
You not only heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several colors.  
 
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 or Joe's Steaks in P'burg ~ that's Phillipsburg, NJ for those uninitiated) 
   
You  know that Blue Ball, Intercourse,  Paradise, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Virginville, Sinking Spring, Jersey Shore, State  College, Washington Crossing,  Jim Thorpe, King of Prussia, Wind  Gap, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns ... and the first three  were consecutive stops on the old Reading RR! (PS - That's pronounced Redd-ing.)  
 
  You can identify drivers from  New York ,  New Jersey ,  Maryland or other neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits.
 
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!)
 
You know several people who have hit deer more than once. 
   
Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were.
 
You know beer doesn't grow in a garden, but you know where to find a beer garden.
