You guys know what i'm talking about.
1. Where did you go to high school?
Anyone from St. Louis knows that the very first question someone will ask you is, "Where did you go to high school?" It's basically a second nature to ask. Whether it was one of 40 private high schools or 65 public schools, your high school will always hold a special place in your heart.
2. You hate all things Chicago... Besides Chicago.
Black Hawks? Bears? Cubs? If you're from STL, you don't like anything sports related with Chicago, but you do love the city that all these putrid teams reside in. It's okay if you want to strut down the magnificent mile in your St. Louis gear, you'll receive looks, but do it with St. Louis pride.
3. You HATE when people call it "Panera".
It's St. Louis Bread Co. or Bread Co, not this fancy name "Panera".
4. You have to explain T-Ravs to almost all of your non St. Louis friends.
No, it's not fried ravioli its toasted ravs... This is a St. Louis staple, and chances are you have to explain this wonder to someone, same thing goes for square sliced pizza.
5. Nelly, Huey, and J-Kwon
Huey and J-Kwon have some of the best hip-hop one hit wonders out there, and then there is Nelly with loads of hits. Anytime one of these rappers come on, you always scream "THEY ARE FROM STL" "I"M FROM THERE"
6. "Hey look, there is the Arch!"
When you're down town you never fail to act like you've never seen the Arch before, and chances are you snapchat it coming and going from our amazing city.
7. We don't pronounce the letter "O" like the rest of the US.
Its mawm instead of mom, fawrk instead of fork, and faurty faur instead of forty-four. You may not notice it, but as soon as you go out of town people will say you talk funny.
8. You're an automatic sports fan.
You can "hate" sports, but you are always down to go to a Cards or Blues Game.
9. Halloween is not about trick-or-treat...
Yes, we might say this but as soon as that door opens you'll hear "No candy until you tell me a joke. You got a joke for me?"
10. Ope
"Ope, let me just sneak past ya and get that ranch real quick".
11. Nothing but LOVE for your city.
No matter where you are, you'll miss St. Louis. Once you move away you'll realize how much you do love this gem of a city.
