You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but "Philly." And New Jersey has always been "Jersey."
You refer to Pennsylvania as "PA" (pronounced Peeay). How many other states do that?
The first day of buck and the first day of doe season are school holidays.
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 "salt, pepper and Heinz ketchup".
Words like "hoagie", "chipped ham", "sticky buns", "shoo-fly pie", "pierogies" "gobs", "gum bands", "pop", and "pocketbook" actually mean something to you.
You not only have heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several colors: Red, White, Brown, Gold.
You live for summer, when street and county fairs signal the beginning of funnel cake season.
A traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn carriage on the highway in Lancaster County.
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 how to respond to the question "Djeetyet?" (Didyoueatyet?)
You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre, Schuylkill, Bala Cynwyd, Conshohocken, and Monongahela.
