    if you "bang a left" the instant the light turns green, cutting off the oncoming traffic.
    if you greet people by saying "hihowahya."
    if you have to repeat what you say three time, slowing down each successive time, before anyone can understand what you're saying.
    if you walk twice as fast as everyone else.

    if your friends from the South are afraid to drive with you.
    if the only time you have seen prayer in public schools is when the school board was considering hiring a guy from Virginia to be the new superintendant. (He'll cancel school at the very mention of flurries!)

                        Most people from Baustin are pretty bad...I think moving out to the middle of nowhere in MA has spared me...only once in a blue moon does my Masshole accent show up. People from school used to think I was from CT (oh the horror).
