1. You know that real chili is poured over spaghetti.

2. You are clear on what a Buckeye exactly is.

3. Your hometown river is flammable.

4. You consider Kentucky “the South.” Michigan is “the North,” and during college football season, it’s also a curse word.

5. You have relatives that pronounce “wash” with an extra “r.”

6. You know that “OHIO” is properly spelled with your arms.

7. You often give directions using time measurements, as in “it’s 30 minutes outside of Akron.”

8. You almost never got off school during the winter, unless there was at least a foot of snow.

9. You can’t possibly fathom someone not having A/C during the summer, because Ohio summers are disgusting. **** you, humidity.

10. You know there are only two seasons: Summer and Winter. (These may occur on the same day.) If you count “construction” as a season, then there are three.

11. There are more orange barrels in your town than people.

12. You consider going to Cedar Point or Kings Island “vacation.”

13. You know that cicadas are technically edible.

14. You know someone who knows someone who knows George Clooney and get really annoying during The Ides of March or The Avengers, because you keep pointing out the landmarks.

15. You know that there’s no other OSU than Ohio State, and that other OSU doesn’t exist.

16. You get really excited when the Bengals win because like Robert Downey Jr., they’ve been through so much to get to where they are now. You know that the Browns will never win.

17. You’ve never seen a hockey game and might be unclear as to what hockey actually is.

18. The only Big Boy that exists is “Frisch’s.”

19. You don’t see any difference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip.

20. You have to go to another state to see your favorite rock band, because they won’t come to your city.

21. When an outlet mall opened near your town, it was a big ****** deal.

22. You believe that ending your sentence in a preposition makes the statement or question more definitive. Thus, you might be heard asking, “Where’s my Indians jersey at?”

23. You measure time in sports games, like: “Oh, that happened three Bengals games ago.”

24. You know The Jake isn’t a person.

25. You’ve actually been cowtipping and can report that it’s kind of fun.

26. The street you grew up on is likely named after a dead tree.

27. You know who “Cincinnatus” is — or at least that he was a person who existed at some time.

28. You grew up thinking that Natural Light was a consumable beverage.

29. You think that people from all other states have an “accent,” but you definitely don’t.

30. You know that Lima is nothing like how it looks on Glee. (Like, where the **** are you getting Alexander McQueen sweaters from? Do you have a dealer?)

31. You’ve been to a flea market before.

32. You know how to pronounce “Cuyahoga.”

33. If you live in Youngstown, you know someone connected to the mob.

34. You say “Please?” instead of “Excuse me?”

35. You knew what Graeter’s was before Oprah did.

36. You believe that going to Buffalo Wild Wings is an appropriate night out.

37. Your local bar has deer heads on the walls.

38. You know your carbonated beverages to be “pop,” not “soda.” And the idea that anyone calls Sprite a Coke is just downright confusing.

39. Your local paper has more sports coverage than all the other sections combined.

40. You know that Jerry Springer was once respectable and a productive member of society…a very, very long time ago.

41. You root for the teams of colleges you’ve never attended — or even visited.

42. You can Polka or Chicken Dance.

43. You know the real Miami University isn’t in Florida.

44. You pronounce both of the Ls in “Versailles” and don’t necessarily associate Athens or Oxford with Europe.

45. When people bring up Bowling Green, you know to ask which one.

49. You live near one of Dave Chappelle’s houses.

50. You know that real pigs have wings and ducks wear sunglasses.

51. You love to bash your city or state — but get really defensive when other people do it. Ohio might be like a drunk uncle, but it’s your drunk uncle, ******* it.

#1, I've never even heard of doing that.

#2, well, duh

#3. Really? That was over 30 years ago, already update your material, will ya?

#4,5 & 6, yes

#7. Of course. Why do I care how many miles something is from anywhere? I want to know how long it will take me to get there if I, in fact, decide if it is worth going there after I have this information.

8. It usually took a lot more than that.

The only other ones I feel a desire to comment on are as follow...

#15. It's not that they don't exist, it's just that they don't matter

#17 is patently untrue for me, but pretty common otherwise

#29 is absolutely true
 
4X, I had to keep scrolling up to match your responses lol. Chili over spaghetti is the best, 5 way please! I do not have an accent although 22 does apply and I constantly try to correct myself. I don't hate Pittsburgh I just think Ben is an A hole. Mayo/miracle whip huge difference. Miracle whip is nasty.
 
It was introduced to me as Kentucky Chili, but I've heard it called Cincinnati Chili as well. But you can't just take regular old chili and serve it with noodles.....
I didn't think about it when I read it the first time, but my wife has started making elbow macaroni when she makes chili. Her and the kids mix the macaroni into their chili, but I only like crackers in mine.

Sorry about making you scroll back and forth. And while I agree that there is a big difference, I love Miracle Whip and think mayo is pretty disgusting.

Our usual chili eating style is to use doritos scoops. I don't even use a spoon anymore for regular chili
