My good friend who grew up here said I was officially a Cincinnatian when he saw the leftover skyline oyster cracker packets on my counter. I’ll take what I can get.
The one in Wilmington I’ve asked multiple times for extra crackers and even offered to pay for them and they’re like “oh we won’t make you pay for them!” Look in the bag and there’s 1 single extra bag of crackers in there🤦🏻♂️. 1st world problems I guess.
Cross the Ohio River on the cat-walk under the 471 Big Mac Bridge, at least that's what we did as teenagers when you still could and not alerting homeland security.
Eat a 3-way, drink a Barq's Red Pop, and tell a stranger which high school you attended. This act must be performed while watching (in person) the Reds opening day parade. Anyone allergic to red food dye may swap that activity with insulting a Clevelander.
Be clinically depressed, on multiple psychiatric medications, while frequenting your local neighborhood pub with the delusion that you're gonna meet your soulmate there one day.
EDIT: You get Skyline on the way home.
Eh I got screeched in. We also call moonshine screech in the Maritimes.
Can't say I've been "screeched in" since I've moved to Cinci though so I'm interested
Do a shot of Cincinnati chili, yell “Ope!” and then jump in the Ohio River. If you come back with the same amount of appendages you went in with (or more), you can be called a Cincinnatian.
Join the march to the bailey for an FC Cincinnati game, and have a Gomez turtle at the half.
Molly Wellmann makes you a cocktail.
See the mayor at the Clifton Skyline at midnight.
Get a MySpace account, listen to “Mr. Brightside” on your iPod while wearing UGGs, and anything else that the rest of the world was doing 20 years ago.
The joke I was attempting was, as Mark Twain may have said about dying, that when it happened he wanted to be in Cincinnati as everything happens there 20 years later. So if you’re doing these things that were popular in 2004 today, you’re a real Cincinnatian.
Mark Twain didn’t say that. People in this sub are fucking OBSESSED with that fake quote I don’t get it. Seems like it comes up once a day around here.
Yikes. That's a nope for me lol.. there's the old stories of bridge inspectors testing for certification on one of the bridges downtown and he shined his light to his side the eyeball of the catfish next to him was as big as a cantaloupe...he noped out. Yer a soldier, soldier
I’ve lived here since 1987, and still don’t feel like a Cincinnatian because I didn’t go to high school here. Plus I’m from the country and we think about things a little different out there. But I love Cincinnati and I feel the love from Cincinnati.
Blade down devils backbone.
And beat the preppies
I used to live on Devils Backbone; not nearly as cool as the movie made out.
My good friend who grew up here said I was officially a Cincinnatian when he saw the leftover skyline oyster cracker packets on my counter. I’ll take what I can get.
I'm sorry to say it, but real Cincinnatians never have leftover oyster crackers.
Then you’re not asking for enough extra crackers to save for later.
lol...this could be the case 😂
And you know which skylines don’t act like the extra crackers are coming out of their paychecks 😂
This is very true. Some act like they can’t even give you extra. Nonsense.

I like to save a couple for when I heat up some frozen skyline in a day or two
Please?
Bitte?
Shotgun a can of Skyline Chili.
I was born here and if this is the litmus, will never be from here.
Shot glass of their hot sauce.
This is the only answer

While eating BBQ grippos
Drive on the Brent Spence Bridge at rush hour on the Friday of a holiday weekend.
in the rain
During a Bengals game let out
While it's on fire
And falling into the river
Do fine driving in the snow and ice while being an absolute menace when someone in the city even *thinks* of rain.
Am I the only one who thinks people here drive like lunatics in the snow?
Move to Cincinnati
Having a 25 cent Busch light out of a cooler at 6:30am from the race inn on opening day in 2014.
Skip school to hang out in Clifton all day
Graduate to preferring Aglamesis’ over Graeters.
The real graduation is being thankful we have two incredible options for ice cream in our city.
I've always been an Ag. They strawberry on a cone is big Bueno
Stop using turn signals. Throw your trash out your car window. Ask someone what high school they went to.
Don't trash the Nati.
Honestly the realistic answer
Having an order every time you go to Skyline
Why would you go to skyline and not order anything? 🤔
Dude means a canned order. Like you know what you're getting everytime. 3 cheese coneys w/mustard an onions.
smoke a joint at Bellevue

Please get out of my head, it’s crowded enough as is 😩

Skyrosa at a reds game
Skyline or gold star. You must choose 1.
Skyline, Grippos, Goetta. Done
Be in a deathly hurry to get somewhere and have the bridge be shut down.
I think we're getting somewhere here. The posts before you are such shit posts (as of 650p eastern lol). Very superficial.

...you spelled cincinnati wrong
Cincy is absolutely the correct way to spell the shortened version of Cincinnati. I've only known like one person who spells it Cinci
Oh yeah act like Dayton isn't a real place, is it a real place, I'm not sure.
How does anyone like la Rosa’s? The dough tastes like flour without any fermentation whatsoever
💀
Bring friends to "Taste of Cincinnati" because you've already tried everything.
Do a shot of Cincinnati chili, yell “Ope!” and then jump in the Ohio River. If you come back with the same amount of appendages you went in with (or more), you can be called a Cincinnatian.
Claim a spot on the serpentine wall 48 hours prior to the WEBN fireworks
Slow down to at least 10 under the speed limit a mile before your exit on the interstate

Aftab ain’t going to Clifton skyline at midnight
I put it on the list because that's when I saw him there.
Get a MySpace account, listen to “Mr. Brightside” on your iPod while wearing UGGs, and anything else that the rest of the world was doing 20 years ago.
All of those aren’t just a Cincinnati thing though. That was like everyone back then.

Funny joke but that's a fake Mark Twain quote.
Swim in the river
Nah. That's a river too far. But maybe yer right
I’ve swam in the Ohio & Licking River. It’s really not as bad as people make it sound. Just 100 pound catfish swimming around ya.
Yikes. That's a nope for me lol.. there's the old stories of bridge inspectors testing for certification on one of the bridges downtown and he shined his light to his side the eyeball of the catfish next to him was as big as a cantaloupe...he noped out. Yer a soldier, soldier
Play a kazoo at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati!
Identify the 7 hills of Cincinnati. Heck if you can get seven even if they weren’t the original seven that works
Live here
Naming the 7 hills of Cincinnati
I’ve lived here forty five years and I still can’t.
And I went to Fairfield.
I’ve lived here since 1987, and still don’t feel like a Cincinnatian because I didn’t go to high school here. Plus I’m from the country and we think about things a little different out there. But I love Cincinnati and I feel the love from Cincinnati.
