- Check off any of the following that speak to your PENNSYLVANIAN SOUL.
You solely refer to Pennsylvania as PA.
And Philadelphia is Philly.
You roll your eyes when people ask whether you live near Pittsburgh or Philly.
...because you know how big PA really is.
You know how difficult it is to find milk, eggs and bread before a snow storm.
You know when you've driven out of the state because of how much better the roads get.
You've pretty much become numb to pot holes.
You've gotten off of school for the first day of hunting season.
...And you grew up thinking everyone everywhere did that.
Also, you grew up having NO idea you could buy liquor in grocery stores.
Scrapple is perfection and a little slice of heaven on earth.
You know how to PROPERLY pronounce Knoebels, Wilkes-Barre, Lancaster, and Schuylkill.
You know that cricks are for wading in.
And occasionally for warshing.
Yeungling is pronounced ying-ling. That's it. That's how you do it.
And you don't bat an eyelash when you hear "youse" or "yinz."
You've spent a lot of free time hanging out at your local gas station or convenience store.
You have some strong opinions about either Sheetz or Wawa.
You know at least one person who speaks Pennsylvania Dutch.
And you know Pennsylvania Dutch is NOT actually rooted in Dutch.
You know Twinkies have absolutely NOTHING on Tastykake.
You swell with pride whenever you see Hershey products because YOUR STATE MADE THAT. And you can give directions to go up the Hershey Highway with a straight face.
You know what a culm pile is.
Come to think of it, you would gladly petition for PA to be renamed the "Tastykake State".
You know what "hayna or no" means, and what "cupla too tree" is.
Your life revolves around fair and carnival seasons, or more specifically, funnel cake seasons.
The smell of cow manure doesn't bother you. In fact, it reminds you of home.
You've definitely heard someone say "up de Eynon."
You know the classiest events are always held in a fire hall.
You don't bat an eye when a horse and buggy goes by.
YOU. KNOW. WHAT. REAL. POT. PIE. IS.
Oh, and you know it's called a hoagie. End of debate
