    True South Pennsylbumfuckia residents know you always have to describe where you live as x hours (N/E/S/W) of (large regional city) because nobody ever knows where you grew up 😔

      Preach. Unless you come from one of the coastal states with multiple big cities or the capital of your state, you’re pretty much always gonna be describing in relation to the capital when talking to anyone who isn’t at least from/living in that state.

      Also, by far the most American thing in your comment is describing the relative position of South Pennsylbumfuckia in units of travel time, rather than units of distance. I never even realized I did that until a dude in Amsterdam asked me to describe the location of where I was staying in km rather than minutes lmao.
