You know you're from MD when:
You know more than 10 people who own boats and they all park them at the same marina in Annapolis

You can pronounce and spell "Pocomoke," "Mattaponi," "Accokeek," and "Havre de Grace"

You prononce "Bowie" BOO-ie not BOW-ie or BAUW-ie

1 hour is an easy commute to work

You have more than three recipies for crabcakes

French fries just don't taste right without Old Bay

There are more than two crab places in your town

Even your high school cafeteria made good crabcakes

You got your first lacrosse stick before you were six years old

You call all turtles "terrapins"

You refer to your state as "Merlind"

Your mother shops at Hecht's

You still call Six Flags America "Adventure World", or even "Wild World"

You still remember the Wild World commercial (Wild World's the cure for the summertime blues!)

You can tell the difference between the smells of septic and marsh

You not only know how to eat hard crabs but you also know how to catch them, cook them and tell the males from the females.

You don't think that Assawoman Bay is a strange name for a body of water.

You know perfectly well why Rehoboth is called "Little San Francisco"

M R Ducks makes perfect sense.

So does C M Wangs.

You think Salisbury is a big city.

You think of dumplings as wet slippery squares of boiled dough.

You and your boss take off of work when the fish are running or the ducks are flying in..

You've eaten muskrat at a church dinner but think it's better the way you fix it.

You think of "Dairy Queen" as a pageant title and not a place to get an ice cream.

"Formal wear" is a ball cap, a flannel shirt and Timberlands.

You still root for the Orioles even when they suck

A "zinc"is something you wash your hands in, not a mineral.

Every time the "Star-Spangled Banner"is sung, everyone shouts out "O" when they get to the words"Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave..."

All the surrounding States legalize gambling,and your's doesn't.

You can travel from the Ocean to the mountains in just a few hours.

The entire region west of the mountains gets heavily inundated with snow, and you don't get a lick.

Beer is considered the food of the gods.

The Commissioner of the NFL constantly denies your State a football team

LOL That is funny I have more...

  • All your directions start with 695
  • Cops get a high speed chase and speeding confused
  • You know what "Glim Burnie" is and how to correctly spell it
  • Techinally 695 goes East and West around baltimore, but if you really think about it its a circle and either way you can get east or west going either direction!
  • You pronounce Baltimore Bawl-mer, Baltiemore, Baldimore, Bawlmore, depending on which side of Rt. 40 you live on
  • Every meal includes Old Bay
  • You know what the two golden eggs in Essex are! (You know the smell!!!)
  • When the news says there is an accident on the bridge you know exactly what bridge they are talking about
  • Hitting traffic going into either Tunnel is always a fear!
  • You always know you are in the city when you smell the bacon smell from the drains!!!
So those are my interuptation of Baltimore! I am from Baltimore, born and raised but I live in Florida now. I def miss the MD [410];) :clap:

Marylanders are funny~i travel daily into md, dc & va (though I'm in pennsyltuckey) and much prefer the md area, especially along the bay~Arnold & Chesapeake Beach come to mind.

Go Ravens ;)....and I say that 'cause when they play well the bmore folks are a little calmer than usual, and I can use all the help I can get :)

...and I grew up in MO saying "BAL-ti-MORE" but now its "Balmur", if ya say it right it's one syllable.

You have to take the beltway to get to and from your school.
waking up at 5:30 every morning is normal.
you know where the road ends (I70 dude it just stops.)
you can have a major in high shool
The Ravens are the best even when they loose, becuase you know Mayflower won't move them in the middle of the night.

but above all:
if you don't like the weather in Maryland either wait or drive five minutes.

You consider a stack of five years of back issues of the Nor'Easter and Mariner a "reference library".

You've written a fan letter to Whitey Schmidt.

You consider Old Bay an aftershave talc.

You've pasted a picture of a jet skier onto a "Wanted: Dead or Alive" poster.

Your five million dollar "McMansion" sits between two broken down trailers with various car parts in their yards.

Your husband asks you to "dress sexy" for him and you know that means flanel and hipboots.

You still know the Beltway around Washington, DC as 495 - it is NOT 95 but is 495 :clap:

There is an outer loop and an inner loop on said 495

If you have to drive into VA for work and they say there is an accident on the Bridge you know it is NOT the Bay but the evil Wilson one....UGH :eek:

You know that if the Capitol, The White House or any other building in Washington, DC is bombed - YOU are toast also - and you DO NOT worry about it - it is a fact of life

You understand all too well the words RAT RACE

AND you do love the Maryland Blue Crabs!!! :clap:
