7. A girl walks up to three of her friends and says; "Hey yinz guys".
8. You hear "you guyses", and don't think twice about it. "Your guyses house is nice".
9. Someone refers to the "Mon" or the Yough" and you actually know what they are talking about.
10. You remember the blizzard of 1993 or 1976 or etc.... and remember not being able to go outside because the snow was over your head and you would have suffocated.
11. Someone starts the chant, "Here we go Still-ers" and you join in, in proper cadence, waving a terrible towel.
