Their “subs” are our “grinders.” Their “liquor stores” are our “packies.” Their “milkshakes” are our “frappes.” If you're not from Boston, you are different and you can't be trusted. 

1. You went to Fenway every week and sat here.

Bonus points if you bought your tickets in Kenmore Square from scalpers named Sean and Donny.

2. You thought this is how everyone bowls...

...and that 10-pin bowling only happened on the Flintstones.

3. Your family's idea of a party weekend was Old Sturbridge Village.

4. Literally every pizza joint in your neighborhood was Greek.

5. You went to B.U. so all B.C. kids look like this.

6. Your room looked like this.

7. You STILL think this guy would have made a good President.

8. You saw the Pixies at the Rat and told all your friends that CBGBs can suck it.

10. Your gamer friends always kept it classy.

M.O.M., the Motion Odyssey Movie ride.

And you know if you "pahk" your "cah" anywhere NEAR "Hahvahd Yahd" you're getting towed to "Woostah."

15. You stood in line to get 3D glasses for the Creature Double Feature on Channel 56.
