How do you know where YOU live?

[Metzgirl]

One unnamed town in SD has two houses, a church and a bar. If we hadn't stopped to investigate, we would have missed it.

Drive cross-country on I-90.... Some of those places in South Dakota probably have only a couple dozen people, and the gas station has been shut down for years, yet it's still listed as you're driving down the road miles before you get there. Freaky places. Nothing around for miles and miles.

I'm in Dundee, you know you're in Dundee when you walk outside and someone wants to fight you. Yeesh.

I live in Swindon, normally. You know you're there because it's a shithole. That and there's always at least one moderate to major traffic accident at any one time, because someone's messed up a roundabout somewhere.

You know you're in Reading when:
You can't breathe because of the smell in the air.
You get abuse hurled at you by the locals for no reason.
People try to run you over as a matter of course.
You get the feeling humanity hasn't come a long way from monkeys.

And yes, I hate this town.

You know when your in Colorado when you notice:
1. The unbathed hippie population.
2. Complete lack of culture.
3. The unbathed hippie population. (yeah I said it twice cuz its rampid and disgusting)

you know you're in Estacada when you see more jacked up Ford pickups than you do people...

[Phoenix Talon]

You know you live in Rhode island if:

1) You know what the Big Blue Bug is and can tell people how to get to it.
2) You drink coffee milk and try to get out of staters to do so as well.
3) You claim you do not have a Long Island or Bostonian accent. Rather, a merger of the two.
4) You have cabinets instead of Milkshakes, and finally
5 You prefix the word 'Wicked' infront of anything that describes an event (eg "That was wicked cool!" or "Wicked Sweet!")

Odd that you posted this today, since I was talking to some friends about my home state slang. They found it both quite odd... Funny Pennsylvania and Ohio people.

You know you’re in Lampeter When:

1) When a minute and half walk to the local shops is to far
2) When you realise there are just to many pubs
3) When you walk past someone wearing a cloak
4) When, in a town so small, you find that your well and truly lost

You know you're in Bath, England when you realise the tourists outnumber the locals.

[Penguin]

You know you're in Harvard, Massachusetts when:
there are no places of entertainment within 5 miles of your house
You drive all over the town and only see one stop light. And it flashes.
Other schools have a student body over half the town population.
The first fast food restaurant opened last week (not counting local pizza places). We have our own Dunkin Donuts!
2 major highways exit in the town and no one knows where it is.

The town founders forgot to think of a name so someone decided to name it after the college their son attended.

Here in Tennessee, all vehicles are red trucks with broken, rusted bumpers. You may see completely new trucks at car dealer parking lots, but they are Tennesseanized by their redneck hillbilly hickowners as soon as they touch them.

You'll see very large murals of guitars everywhere in the downtown Nashville area, but you will be horrendously ridiculed upon mentioning your love of country music.

Everyone in Tennessee, as mentioned above, is a Republican redneck hillbilly hick, particularly in the mountainous eastern region. Davidson County, however, is a little island of blue in a sea of red, so you'll find smelly hippie Democrats everywhere. Independants and third parties are shot on sight, regardless of where in the state you are.

There will be gigantic billboards advertising Mexican restaurants with babies on them, which may lead you to wonder what babies have to do with anything related to that. Do they serve babies in the food?

You know you live in Phoenix when:
1. You can walk outside and melt within 30 seconds 9 months out of the year.
2. Everything worthwhile closes so freakin' early despite being a large city.
3. You drive anywhere and at least 90% of the trip was through road construction.
4. The entire city practically comes to a standstill because it rained for 5 minutes.

[Rileyrat]

MasteR, you forgot to mention that the larger the truck/SUV the smaller the girl is driving it AT 5MPH OVER RAILROAD TRACKS!

The family of kangaroos in my backyard are a dead giveaway.
