Ya know you are from phily

Okay as most of you know I was bred in Jersey. From when I was a young child till my early 20 I lived in Jersey. However, what people do not know is I was born outside of Philadelphia in Bryn Mawr PA. So I consider myself a philadelphian. Especially since the rest of my family still lives in Philly and my parents grew up there. So you can imagine being this far away from Jersey and Philly there are two major items I miss. PIZZA really really good NEW YORK pizza and PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS... well a few years ago I found a New York pizza Gus's in Tempe AZ. Where the owner is from Brooklyn. SO when I need a fix. I really good pizza I go to Gus's. But that philly cheesesteak still alluded me. Until today when a manager at work came in to tell me about Carleone's in Tempe (surprise) I think it is that University influence. I am telling you the original stuff with cheese whiz and everything if they have wooder (water) ice I am so excited. Anyway she went again today and brought me back on. Goodness was I in heaven. On the cup and the website reads "Ya know you are from Philly when".....
1. Only tourist go to Pat's and Geno's
2. Your favorite dessert is Wooder Ice.
3. "Yo" and "Youse Guys" are terms of endearment
4. You can't eat fries without Cheez Whiz.
5. You don't think Wawa sounds funny.
6. You love scapple for dinner
7. You buy soft pretzels at a traffic light
8. You took a vacation downdashore
9. you know how to spell Schuylkill (the river)
10. You hate the Dallas Cowboys.

9. Was also "you know where the rocky statue is"

So if anyone can relate to these then I guess you have roots, currently live in or are from philly.
