You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to use them. . You design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. . Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow. . You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. .

You’re proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the nation, and Syracuse gets more snow than any other major city in the US . Your local Dairy Queen is closed from October through May . If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year .

![]() ![]() You've never met any celebrities....other than Fred Thompson. "Vacation" means going to the family reunion. You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer and Christmas. You laugh when people from anywhere north of TN tries to say or spell "y'all". It's "Mar-vull" not "Mary-ville" It's "Knox-vull" not "Knox-ville". A toboggan is a hat, not a sled. You butter your hot biscuit by cutting it open, putting a slab of butter inside and closing it back up again. Every town in East Tennesse has a "strip" and they're not particularly safe to be in at night. Pigeon Forge is not pronounced with a French accent. Gatlinburg does have an "L" in it and it should be pronounced. Sales tax is 9.5%. You shop at Walmart for groceries, not at a grocery store. You don't drive in Knoxville on game-day. EVER. You or your friends chew. You can't remember the last time you saw snow. You know when Elvis Presley Day is.

What makes them funny is that they are so true! Is pot illegal in Cali? And what's with the traffic lights that are specifically for U-turns? Who does that?!?

I agree.. what makes them funny is they are sooo true.. lol JUst noticed a few important ones I forgot to list. I remember when working at my first office job, I was running around looking for gumbands .. Folks at work had no idea what I was talking about. I said, you know those stretchy things. And I'd "red" up my desk at the end of the day. Folks had no idea what I was doing until I explained.. Here are a few I missed on the first llist
Words like: gumband; and pop actually mean something to you The plural of "you" is "youns." You know the expression, "Hey naw! Watchya dewin' You ask the waitress for "dippy ecks" for breakfast. You do things "wunst," as in "I'll go check in the back room wunst." You say things like, "Outen the lights," "I'm calling off today, "and THEY want snow wunst." You pronounce "Suite" as SUIT, not SWEET |
