When Oklahomans travel out-of-state there are a few definite “clues” as to where they are from. They all don’t wear overalls and drive pick-up trucks but there are some funny things they do and say.

1.) This is how they park when there is a snowstorm.
2.) They are always checking the weather...not just for tornadoes but because the weather changes every 5 minutes.
3.) They call ALL soda Coke or Pop.
4.) They wear t-shirts about God, guns or football.
5.) They pronounce Miami, FL...My-am-uh...since there is a town in Oklahoma called Miami but pronounced My-am-uh.
6.) They wave at others while driving.
7.) If they hear the word boomer, you will shortly hear sooner.
