Re: You know you're from...
For the places I've lived or visited I am amazed how spot on these are. For the places I haven't been, I'm amazed how much I've had to Google to understand what the hell people were talking about.I finally gave up because I was afraid I would actually crash Google.
These are so funny.
FYI Most of the NY ones refer to people that live in "the city" or Borough of Manhattan but it would be 4 pages if I added the rest of it. Many of the Jersey ones are also general because they would also be at least 4 pages if I added "The Shore" and/or "North Jersey" specifics.
This is a great thread.It's nice to know a little about where some people are from. Can't wait to see the ones from other countries. I have to admit I think I would be a bit scared to live where some of you live if this stuff is that accurate.lol
