  • You live less than 30 miles from some college or university.
  • You know what a buckeye really is, and have a recipe for candy ones.
  • "Toward the lake" means north and "toward the river" means south.
  • You know if other Ohioians are from Northern or Southern Ohio as soon as they open their mouth.
  • You can spell words like Cuyahoga, Olentangy, Bellefontaine, Tuscarawas, Wapakoneta (and know which letter is doubled in Cincinnati)
  • "Vacation" means spending the day at Kings Island or Cedar Point.
  • You measure distance in minutes.

  • Your school classes were canceled because of heat!
  • You've had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
  • You know what should be knee-high by the Fourth of July.
  • You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition (Example: "Where's my coat at?")
  • You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
  • You think of the major four food groups as:
  • Beef,
  • Pork,
  • Beer,
  • Jell-O salad with marshmallows.
  • You carry jumper cables in your car.
  • You know what 'pop' is.
  • You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
  • Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
  • You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightgown.
