11 Foolproof Ways To Spot An Imposter In Buffalo
If you want to be a Buffalonian, you have to do your research. Just looking and acting the part isn’t going to cut it. You need to eat, sleep, and breathe Buffalo culture if you’re going to fit in around here. We might be considered the City of Good Neighbors, but that doesn’t mean we won’t call you out for being an imposter in the 716. Here are 11 foolproof ways we can always spot the outsiders.
Wearing way too many layers in chilly weather is a dead giveaway that you're probably not from around here. Buck up, buttercup. 40 degrees is practically light jacket weather in Buffalo!
Blame it on the fact that our winters last well into spring. Buffalonians tend to push the envelope when it comes to extending flip flop season! If you bust out your fall footwear too soon, you'll most likely be taken for an imposter.
Around here, we just say "The" – "The" 219. "The" 90. If you're a Buffalonian, you know what we mean!
It should really go without saying that this is something only an imposter would do in Buffalo.
Do you even know where Buffalo is on the map? Get it together, people!
Ballpark Franks? Zweigles? You might was well just leave now. You just outed yourself as an imposter without even saying a word.
This is a major no-no in Buffalo. If you're going to be here, please have the common courtesy to at least pretend to like our teams!
Timbits > Munchkins, and every true Buffalonian knows it!
Imposters will go to the store for milk, eggs, and bread during a storm warning. Real Buffalonians know it's better to stock up on beer and Bison Dip.
Finish this sentence: The Bills make me wanna _____. If you can't, you are most definitely an imposter.
Whether you're talking about the creek or the route, Buffalonians can pronounce Scajaquada in our sleep!
