Well, since I live in Colorado here are some I have heard of:

You know you are in/from Colorado when...

1. You switch from "Heat" to "A/C" in one day.

2. You think that sexy lingerie is wool socks and flannel PJs.

3. Your sense of direction is: towards the mountains and away from the mountains.

4. You're a meat-eating vegetarian.

and since I am Mexican...

You know you are hispanic/latino/a when:


1. Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner and you only live in a one bedroom apartment

2. You step into a house that has all those little figurines taking up every inch of space on/under the TV and you have a porcelain dog, Buddha or elephant in your living room.

3. You're still afraid to open that umbrella in your house.

4. You still don't understand how other people can think that cinnamon, pepperoni or pepper are actually hot.

You know you live in the NO FUN STATE (Kalifornia) when everything you want to do/buy is ILLEGAL

You know it snowed 1/2" last night because all the roads are packed with city people!!!

Noath of the Mason-Dixon, a legal defense for 1st degree murder is diminished mental capacity...here in the south, it's "Well Sir, he just needed killing!"

North: coffee houses
South: Waffle houses

In Florida, the farther south you drive the more north it gets and the further north you drive the more south it is.

Up North they still call it the Civil war, but it was really the War between the States!

From New Orleans,LA to Panama City Beach,FL it will always be referred to as the "Redneck Riviera" no matter how many non-southerners build condos and move in!

LOL! SO, true! The smell of frijoles, aroz and tortillas makes me so HUNGRY! It's no wonder!

You know you are hispanic when you add an E to the front of a word that starts with an S and has a consonant after the S...

For example: Es-tarbucks (coffee)

~:-V

PS Your Es-pelling was better than most!

 

[3peeps]

Es-tarbucks!!! That's awesome.

You know you live in the land of cheeseheads when it takes you an extra hour to get home from the grocery store because the game just ended.

And you know you are out of place when you don't love football and actually choose to go shopping during the games because all the stores are so beautifully empty, but are still broadcasting the game on the store intercoms, TVs and radios.

OK you are bona fide Hispanic---by association! LOL!

Are you or were you married to someone Hispanic?

I used to work for Starbucks, actually! My mom used to tell me she'd tell all her friends that her son works for "ES-tarbucks" and I would tell her, "Mama...don't say ES-tarbucks! Just say I am a barista for a coffee shop!"

Yes...she likes her ES-prite! Of course if it's anything dark she calls them "Coke" even if it's Pepsi! Cereal is all Corn Flays and Sneakers are Tenis.
