1. Keep It Simple: \u201cPA\u201d<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no need to say the full name of something when only two letters are enough to let everyone know you\u2019re talking about the Keystone State.<\/p>\n

2. We\u2019ll Never Stop Loving Penn State<\/h2>\n

Come bad seasons or controversy, nothing will stunt the die-hard love that every Penn State fan shares for this school. Once you\u2019re a fan of the Nittany Lions, you\u2019re stuck with them for life.<\/p>\n

3. Our Cities Are Huger And Awesomer Than You Thought<\/h2>\n

People tend to forget about Pennsylvania while their planning their next touristy getaway. On the contrary, the big cities here are definitely worth a visit, as they\u2019re two of the coolest places to be in the country.<\/p>\n

4. But Don\u2019t Forget, There\u2019s Tons Of Rural Space<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

One thing that\u2019s particularly nice about PA is that its landscape presents the best of both the urban and rural worlds. If the big city life isn\u2019t for you, it\u2019s pretty easy to find a small town that will make you happy.<\/p>\n

5. Quit Complaining About Buggies<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, Pennsylvania is one place where it\u2019s not uncommon to encounter horse-powered vehicles on the road. Try not to get too annoyed, it\u2019s an easy pass as soon as you get the chance.<\/p>\n

6. Dutch Isn\u2019t Always Dutch<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

When you hear the term \u201cPennsylvania Dutch\u201d, it\u2019s easy to be misled into thinking that these people come from the Netherlands. This isn\u2019t really the case, as this population is made up of the descendants from early German settlers.
\nThis confusing term comes from the German word Deutsche which was originally used to describe people from both Germany and Holland years ago. Today, its dual meaning has been lost.<\/p>\n

7. No, Nittany Lions Aren\u2019t A Made Up Thing<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Huge mountain lions actually roamed Mount Nittany in Centre County up through the end of the 19th century. It\u2019s only right that they\u2019re commemorated in some sort of way.<\/p>\n

8. Beach Life Is A Reality Here<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

While Pennsylvania might not butt up to an oceanside shoreline, the state\u2019s neighbor, New Jersey, does. Taking a trip down to the shore is a regular summer pastime around these parts.<\/p>\n

9. Of Course Everyone Isn\u2019t Actually Sick On The Opening Day Of Hunting Season<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr UserSavannah River Site<\/div>\n

There\u2019s a huge hunting population in Pennsylvania, meaning tons of people tend to skip work come the opening day of hunting season. Try to cut people some slack for using their hard-earned sick days doing something they actually enjoy.<\/p>\n

10. No One Agrees On Where To Find The Best Cheesesteak<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Most locals will agree that Pat\u2019s and Geno\u2019s are pretty touristy, but besides that it\u2019s an all-out war. You\u2019ll find people willing to fight over their opinion that places like Dalessandro\u2019s serve up the best cheesesteaks in town.<\/p>\n

Similar to the Southern \u201cy\u2019all,\u201d the Pittsburgh \u201cYinz\u201d and the Philly \u201cYouse\u201d tend to sneak their way into conversations all around this state. It might be confusing to out-of-towners, but these regional terms are here to stay.<\/p>\n

12. Try Scrapple Before Demanding To Know What\u2019s In It<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User mmarchin<\/div>\n

Alright, it\u2019s made with what\u2019s mostly a mush of pork scraps\u2026but don\u2019t think that makes it any less delicious.<\/p>\n

13. Fireflies Don\u2019t Bite!<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User JefferyTurner (cropped)<\/div>\n

Known for bringing life to the night scene of the PA countryside, there\u2019s no reason to fear these little bugs with neon butts. Worst case scenario, they might poop on you if you catch them.<\/p>\n

14. Yes, We Know Our Pretzels Are Huge<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User jonseidman1988<\/div>\n

There\u2019s no pretzel in the world like the one\u2019s you\u2019ll find around the Philly area. Huge, soft, and delicious, this is one snack that\u2019s hard to beat.<\/p>\n

15. Quit Hating On Punxsutawney Phil<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Anthony Quintano (cropped)<\/div>\n

Every year come Groundhog\u2019s Day, there are plenty of cynics that love to point out that a groundhog can\u2019t actually predict the weather. OBVIOUSLY. This is one event that\u2019s all about tradition, Pennsylvanians have a modern understanding of how weather works.<\/p>\n

16. We\u2019re Well Aware We\u2019ve Got Some Funny Town Names<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User MGSwarbs (cropped)<\/div>\n

This one always gets brought up during long drives through the Keystone State. Everyone here is well aware that there are towns named Intercourse, Blue Ball, and Big Beaver. Get used to the simple fact that Pennsylvanians are just better at naming towns.<\/p>\n

17. No One Knows What Phillie Phanatic Is<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Matt Watts<\/div>\n

He\u2019s got two legs, green fur, and a giant snout\u2026he\u2019s clearly not from this planet. Even though people can\u2019t pin down what exactly this Phillie Phanatic character is supposed to be, there\u2019s mad love for this baseball mascot around these parts.<\/p>\n

18. Pot Pie Isn\u2019t A Pie At All<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User amateur photography by Michel<\/div>\n

The rest of the country is still getting Pot Pie wrong, it\u2019s not supposed to actually be a pie. In Pennsylvania it\u2019s a soup with noodles, meat, and veggies\u2026no pastry included.<\/p>\n

19. The Word \u201cTerrible\u201d Is A Source Of Pride<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User daveynin<\/div>\n

While \u201cterrible\u201d might have a bad connotation in most states, here\u2019s it\u2019s all about showing support for the beloved Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n

20. Wawa Or Sheetz, Pick A Side<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Wawa via Facebook<\/div>\n

People in PA love their convenient store stops, unfortunately they can\u2019t agree on the same place. If you\u2019re on the Eastern side of the state, it\u2019s all about Wawa, elsewhere its Sheetz.<\/p>\n

21. The Eagles Fans Don\u2019t Deserve All That Hate Anymore<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

One of the most hated teams in professional football, NFL fans love to hate on the Eagles. They don\u2019t just stop at the team either, often dragging the fans into the debate as well.
\nWhile Eagles fans might be some of the most die-hard around, they\u2019re not the evil creatures that the national sports media makes them out to be.<\/p>\n

22. \u201cWhy Are Those People Dressed Like That?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Known for their crazy costumes and crazier antics, Mummers are definitely a special breed of people. Made up of musicians, actors, and other performers, this joy-filled troupe is well known around Pennsylvania for holding a huge New Year\u2019s Day parade in Philly every year, said to be the oldest folk festival in the country.<\/p>\n

23. These Pirates Probably Won\u2019t Steal Your Loot<\/h2>\n

Another Pittsburgh team, the Pirates rule the diamond in this city. Even if someone from Pittsburgh isn\u2019t a fan of the sport, they\u2019ll still probably have some Pirates gear in their closet.<\/p>\n

24. For The Last Time, It\u2019s A Hoagie<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User jeffreyw<\/div>\n

While the rest of the country is off calling these huge, meaty sandwiches \u201csubmarines\u201d, most people in Pennsylvania choose to use \u201choagie,\u201d a term that stems from the Philly region.<\/p>\n

25. Don\u2019t Go To The Grocery Store Expecting To Buy All Your Booze<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Krasava<\/div>\n

Some weird liquor laws in Pennsylvania ban grocery stores from selling wine and hard alcohol. You\u2019ll have to hunt down a liquor store if you\u2019re looking to stock up for a big party.<\/p>\n

26. Birch Beer IS NOT Root Beer<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User darastar<\/div>\n

People are always shocked when they take a sip of some Pennsylvania birch beer only to discover it tastes nothing like A&W or Barq\u2019s. Just because both drinks are non-alcoholic and have the word \u201cbeer\u201d in their name doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re the same thing.
\nRoot beer\u2019s flavoring comes from the root of a sassafras tree. Birch beer gets it\u2019s flavoring from birch sap (which is kind of a no-brainer, guys).<\/p>\n

27. Quit Complaining About The City Traffic<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Herkie<\/div>\n

Pennsylvanians are already well aware that traffic can get pretty nasty in their bigger cities. Complaining doesn\u2019t make the traffic move any faster and it just makes it worse for everyone else in the car.<\/p>\n

28. Quit Saying Tastykakes Are Junk Food<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Ezra.Wolfe<\/div>\n

A favorite snack item here, it\u2019s practically a sin to put Tastykakes in the \u201cjunk food\u201d group despite the fact that they\u2019re really just desserts in plastic wrap. When something is loved as much as Pennsylvanians love these treats, dissing it won\u2019t fly.
\nThese aren\u2019t Twinkies so stop talking about them like they are, okay?<\/p>\n

29. Don\u2019t Knock Our Bologna \u2018Til You Try It<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User NatalieMaynor<\/div>\n

Why are people so afraid of bologna?
\nLebanon bologna might have a funny name, but it packs a serious punch when it comes to flavor. Made-up of cured sausage, it looks a lot like salami but has a very distinctly tangy bite.<\/p>\n

30. We Love It In PA So Don\u2019t Ask Why<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Lee J Haywood<\/div>\n

People in the Keystone State have plenty to brag about. With awesome sports teams, plenty of insanely delicious food, and two of the coolest cities in the country, it\u2019s no surprise that the people here love it so much.
