Long Island-isms
Ok, so I ripped off this entire list from here. I cut it down from it's originial format and editorialized it a bit. I think I made it more funner. I could be wrong. With no further ado, read the damn list. :)
You know someone who went to Chaminade. Unfortunately
Is it just me, or is every girl from Rockville Centre a bitch? Tend to agree.
Billy Joel said it best, "Either you date a rich girl from the North Shore, or a cool girl from the South Shore." Yep.
What's the big deal about the Hamptons? Ditto.
If you're not from Long Island or NYC, you're not really from New York. Amen to that!
You don't go to Manhattan, you go to "the City" Heh.
You know the Belt Parkway sucks! I have nightmares of it sometimes.
You never, ever want to "change at Jamaica..." I have worse ones about being stuck here for 4 hours.
You know where at least one strip club is. Or 5 or 12 in some people's cases.
You curse. A lot. F*ck yeah, man.
Is Huntington really that cool? Nope.
You've been to Utopia at least once. *laughs*
The goddamn geese are everywhere! I love branata canadensus.
If your parents didn't, your grandparents lived in the city. Check.
At some point in your life you or someone you know has owned an animal that came from North Shore Animal League. Me. :)
Commack movie theatre scares you. Unarmed? Yes.
No word ends in an ER, just an AH. *grumbles*
You feel like you know Howard Stern. And hate the pompous coward :)
You live in the shadow of the greatest city in the world, but you never go there. Only to hang out with that guy from Chaminade.
When you're away from Long Island, you love it and when you're there, you don't. It's why I came home from CA.
You know the exact point at which Queens turns into Nassau simply on intuition. I use the "force".
No matter what you do, you end up at the diner. In the olde days
Your distant future might involve the state of Florida. Actually in some friends present.
You have or someone you know has fallen asleep on the LIRR and ended up in one of these three places; Babylon, Port Washington or Hicksville.
Guilty on ALL THREE Counts, your honor.
You've missed that "Drunk Train", the 2:42 out of Penn and had the dreaded wait until 5:30. Ya know, making the drunk train isn't much better either. Either way you're screwed.
You can correctly pronouce places like Happauge, Mattituck, Islandia, Massapequa, and Patchogue. But of course :)
You know the location of 6 malls and a dozen McDonalds and 36 7-11's. Off the top of my head, of course
You can remember making up rules for ?Shotgun? calls in high school. Complex elaborate systems that required advanced degrees to truly understand.
You consider nachos and cheese at the Coliseum to be a suitable dinner date. Maybe Jim does, hehe Go Isles!
Ok, done playg, plague, plager, crap... ripping people off for today. Peace out.

My favorite is the thing about hating Long Island when you're there and loving it when you're gone. I have never had so much pride in being a Long Islander before I left Long Island.
The grass is always greener on the other side!
