If you are from Houston or have been living here for more than a year then I’m sure you have said many of the phrases in The Houston Press’ “10 Things You Say That Make You a Houstonian” list.
- It’s not far, like 30 minutes.
- It’s (still) under construction
- It didn’t rain here.
- At least it’s indoors.
- The bayou looks high.
- On the feeder.
- It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.
- Coke (used interchangeably for any soft drink)
- Traffic sucks.
- Inside the loop.
Can you think of any others?
Personally, I probably say “it’s still under construction” at least once a day.
