10 (more) things only a Cincinnatian would understand

Last month, I made a list of 10 things only a Cincinnatian would understand. It was a light-hearted look at what life is like for someone born and raised in the Queen City – focusing on flying pigs, flying turkeys, flightless 3-ways, humidity and ubiquitous insurance commercials.

I promised you a round two if I got a bunch of feedback. So in honor of the two suggestions I received (thanks, Mom!) ... I decided to do it anyway.

So, my chili-loving friends, here are 10 MORE things only real Cincinnatians would understand. Note: If you weren't born here, but you've been here a while, you can still count as "real." But only if you pass this test. Good luck.

Have more oh-so-Cincinnati suggestions? Email them to me at [email protected]. I'm not gonna do a round three, but I will say thank you and we can have a little laugh together.

1. That feeling of riding The Beast in the rain at Kings Island.

2. High school is more important than college.

3. Cooking goetta shirtless is more dangerous than cooking bacon in the nude.

4. If you say East Side or West Side is better, them's fightin' words.

5. Labor Day = frog-themed fireworks.

6. Tartar sauce is a burger topping.

7. It's not soda, it's pop. OK, maybe soda-pop.

8. Nothing says 'welcome home' like descending the cut in the hill.

9. A bridge can be named after a McDonald's sandwich.

10. All church basements smell the same on Fridays during Lent.
