I have relatives who have never stepped in Baltimore, but claim they are from there. its like, "NO! Just because our grandparents are from there do not make you a baltimoron my default! and no, sorry, but towson, catonsville, cockeysville, westminster, owings mills, ect. does not count. if you have no idea what a chicken box and half and half is, you are not from baltimore!"


Look, I'm from MS. I will never claim Baltimore. But for the record, where I'm from we call a half and half an Arnold Palmer.

And I'm so "city" I walked on North Ave and Broadway. Or at least when I told a random coworker she gasped and shook her head. It was not that bad. Baltimore's bark has been bigger than its bite in my opinion.

Why do people say "two/too/to" like that?
