You know you are from Philly when you say...

[MinnieGirl33]

Christmas decorations came from Kindy's

You know who Al Alberts was & probably (if you are Italian) have a relative who still looks just like him.

Can parallel park in one motion

Need penny pretzels to eat with your wooder ice

Have sat on the stoop

Been seranaded

Have built in radar as to when the daily lottery number is coming on tv

Have ever seen the Lit's Christmas display

Yes, I did shop at the Ac-a-me, I wish WDW would get a WaWa, I order my steaks wiz wit (& a birch beer), I know goin to the shore means Wildwood, I hit the casinos fairly often & have shipped tastykakes to family out of state (as well as hand carried DiNic's roast pork & Sarcone's rolls to North Carolina)

South Jersey

Hoagies not subs
soda not pop
shoobies not tourists

You can tell if someone has lived here for a long time when they still refer to the Shore Mall as Searstown and The FAA Tech Center as Nafec.

OHHHH YEAH! I still say Nafec (I work there)!! My mom still calls it Searstown Mall. I remember when the stores were "outside".

The only one I can't agree with is the subs. We call them subs.

and I say WOODER too!!

When I say "behgel" not bagel.
Not sure if this is just philly or not...but alot of people I know including myself say SA-sage rather than SAUsage.
You know what Teacooler is.
You know someone is from philly when you hear them say..The Eagles should take T.O.....no they shouldn't.....yes they should...Andy Reid was right....what was Andy Reid thinking...we can still go to the superbowl. And all in one day.

South-central Jersey transplanted from North Jersey:

Used to call ATM's MAC machines -- when they had the MAC logo
Subs not hoagies
Down the shore meant Seaside or Wildwood, depending on who you talked to.

I think I'm sitting right on the dividing line of bennies and shoobies.

Papa! I was just going to say, you know you are from Philly when you know what a Mummer is! And you know how to Strut, LOL!

Also, by living in South Philly, I now know how to respond
to the question:"Djeetyet?" (Did you eat yet?)
