| You know your from Boston...
1. You've slammed on your brakes to deter a tailgater 2. Your favorite adjective is "wicked" 3. You remember when the "Fleet Center" was "The Boston Garden" and refuse to refer to it as anything BUT "the Gahden" 4. Know at least three Tony's, one Vinnie and a Frank(ie) 5. You go to the "packy" not the "liquor store" 6. Paranoia sets in if you can't see a Dunkin Donuts, ATM or CVS within eyeshot at all times. 7. Know how to claim your space on the T. Know what the T is. 8. You keep an ice scraper and can of de-icer on the floor of your car...year round 9. You still try to order curly fries from Burger King 10 You know how to pronounce Worcester, Peabody, and Cotuit 11 You know where the Combat Zone used to be and still avoid that area 12 You don't eat dinner; you eat "suppa" 13 Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, etc. are not called "soda", they are "tonic" 14 You order iced coffee in January 15 You can curse in Italian...only you don't say "curse" you say "swear" 16 You don't understand the purpose of a crosswalk and therefore refuse to use them, even outside of Boston 17 You know what candlepin bowling is 18 You know about Evacuation Day 19 You have tried to drive the measured mile in less than 45 seconds. 20 You drive 45 minutes to New Hampshire to save $5 in sales tax 21 The whole 'Big Dig' mess drives you nuts unless you are spooning it from Brighams. You know what Brighams is and it shows 22 You've used the statement "not fa nuthin" in conversation. 23 You serve bread with every meal. 24 You feel compelled to hear at least one weather report a day. 25 You've pulled out of a side street and used your car to block oncoming traffic so you can make a left. 26 You've bragged about the money you've saved at The Christmas Tree Shop. |

 Everyone knows you can only say you're from Boston if you live in Brighton, Cambridge, Medford, Quincy, Watertown, Newton or Somerville
