Daniel Rubin of Blinq probes the question of "How Philly are You" in Please Pass The Swiss, with an assortment of quizes (he's more Philly than I am, but not by much).
They are all fun (and funny). A few of my favorites, from You know you're from Philadelphia if ...
The first day of buck and the first day of doe season are school holidays. You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye. You can't go to a wedding without hearing the "Chicken Dance," at least 1 Polka and either an Italian song (sung in Italian,) or "Hava Nagila." At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most of their windows all year long. You know what a "Hex sign" is. You know what a "State Store" is, and your out of state friends find it incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.
You know what a township, borough, and commonwealth is. You can identify drivers from New York, New Jersey, Ohio,or other neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits. A traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn carriage on the highway in Lancaster County. You know several people who have hit deer more than once.You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Wilkes-Barre, Schuylkill, Bala Cynwyd, Conshohocken, and Monongahela.And then there the "Test" --
You are 81% Philly!! You've got a lot of Philly flare in you! You s hould be pround. Just don't let people confuse you with a New Yorker or a Jersey head!
