As an unbiased Colorado native myself, I feel pretty confident in saying that people from Colorado are some of the coolest you will ever meet… however, like everyone else, we still have a few select things that get our blood boiling. For instance, if you want to make someone from Colorado mad, you can easily do so by:

1. Let's go ahead and begin this list by addressing the elephant in the room. We get mad if you use the term Coloradoan (like I do)...

2. ...or Coloradan.

We all feel strongly one way or another about the proper term... which do you use?
3. Look, we don't mind if you move here from California or Texas... but when you move here from California or Texas and do nothing but complain about how Colorado isn't like your home state, THEN we have a problem.

4. Speaking poorly of Peyton...

5. ...Elway...

6. ...and/or the original Blake Street Bombers.

That's just blasphemy!
7. Make jokes about our legal weed...

As hi-larious as marijuana jokes are, we ask that you please spare us.
