It is Bawl-mer or Ball-tee-more - not "Baltimore", depending on if you live north or south of Rt. 40.
You don't wash your clothes, you "warsh" them.
Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere, Baltimore has its own version of traffic rules.... "Hold on & pray."

If you actually stop at a yellow light you will be rear ended, cussed out, and possibly shot.
All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase "Oh, we're in GLIMBURNIE!"
If someone actually has their turn signal on it is probably a factory defect.

If some guy with a flag tries to get you to park in his yard during Preakness ... run over him! It's probably not his yard anyway.
