1. “Gotta Love Those Green Licenses Plates!”
“Greenies” is another name for Coloradans visiting Wyoming, thanks to the green color of their license plates. Wyomingites aren’t big fans of them, thanks to a variety of reasons. The only time they’d drop this line is in sarcasm.
2. “Sometimes This Big City Life Is Just Too Much For Me”
Wyoming doesn’t really have any big cities, at least not what would be considered “big” on a national scale. The largest city is Cheyenne, still with less than 100,000 people. Wyomingites don’t have to worry much about the hustle and bustle of a stressful city life.
3. “I’m More Of An Indoor Kind Of Person”
Wyoming is 100% the definition of the “great outdoors.” There’s so much to do outside in the Cowboy State, from hiking, to hunting, to kayaking. If someone that doesn’t like the great outdoors is in Wyoming, they’re gonna have a bad time.
4. “Take Off That Cowboy Hat! You Look Stupid!”
Almost everyone in Wyoming has a pair of cowboy boots (plus hats to match).
While everyone isn’t walking down the street looking like something out of a Spaghetti Western, Wyoming is one state in America where people won’t bat an eye when someone walks into the room looking like John Wayne.
5. “Forget These Crowds! There Are Just Too Many People Here.”
The least populated state in America, Wyomingites never struggle with finding some “me time.” With less than 6 people per square mile, the numbers just don’t lie. If you want wide open spaces, you’re looking for Wyoming.
6. “Where Do They Put The Yellowstone Animals At Night?”
There’s a ton of wildlife in Wyoming and every local is well aware that it’s not the type found in a zoo. While an out-of-towner may be shocked by the sheer number of animals running around, Wyomingites have perfected the art of living with nature in harmony.
7. “Are You Seriously Gonna Fry That?!”
Wyoming cuisine seems to operate by one rule: if at first you don’t succeed, toss it in the fryer. Nearly every type of food can be found deep-fried in this state, from steaks to Oreos.
8. “The Rodeo Just Isn’t That Exciting”
Lacking local professional sports teams, Wyomingites tend to flock to the rodeo when it comes to town. The best riders are treated like hometown heroes, always met with cheers when they step into the arena.
9. “Can It Just Be Winter Already?”
Winters in Wyoming can get brutal, bringing up to 9 months of harsh winds and tons of snow. While it’s something that Wyomingites might eventually get used to, most of them won’t look forward to this season.
10. “I Don’t Know How To Ride A Horse”
Learning to ride a horse in Wyoming is like learning to ride a bike in the rest of the country, it’s basically a rite of passage.
People often joke that all kids in Wyoming ride their horses to school, though sometimes that’s not too far from the truth, as horses can be frequently spotted in town.
11. “I’m Not A Big Fan Of Potato Olés”
While the rest of the country flocks to Taco Bell for their cheap Mexican food fix, Wyoming has something even better, Taco John’s. This “West-Mex” restaurant happens to serve up something called “potato olés,” potentially the most addictive substance known to man.
12. “Hunting Seems So Barbaric”
With very high rates of gun ownership, Wyoming is full of hunters. Even if a Wyomingite isn’t shooting an animal themselves, they can probably be caught enjoying game meat like elk or bison on a regular basis.
13. “The Skiing Here Is So-So”
Home to Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming is home to some of the best skiing in the country. Known for its steep landscape and high percentage of expert terrain, Jackson Hole is a skier’s delight.
14. “I’m Not Really Much Of A UW Fan”
Being the only public 4 year college in the state, everyone seems to be rooting for the brown and gold of the University of Wyoming Cowboys. It might not be the biggest school around, but UW fans have a lot of heart. They always come out fighting.
15. “Sunsets… You’ve Seen One, You’ve Seen Them All.”
Night after night, Wyoming is home to the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Every Wyomingite knows that these never get old, as different colors seem to streak across the sky every time the sun falls below the horizon. Just one more perk of living in the Cowboy State.
