Aw snap, apparently people who live in other states don't make any efforts to keep up on the many subtle -isms of Colorado. How dare they be so presumptuous as to actually expect us to explain ourselves. So keep in mind that, outside of Colorado, no one knows what you are talking about when you say these things:
- CSAPs
- I 25
- The Mountains (I mean, they'll know that you're talking about mountains but they won't know that you aren't talking about the hills in their state that they think qualify as peaks)
- The Res
- Menchies
- King Soopers (depending on the state)
- Pearl Street/Boulder in general
- Smash Burger
- Casa Bonita
Oh gosh, do you guys remember Casa Bonita? It was so picking hard to explain how simultaneously amazing and sketchy that place was when I accidentally mentioned it in a conversation. It went like this:
Friend: Check out that house with all the lights on it!
Me: OMQ! It looks like Casa Bonita!
Friend: "omq"? What the krap is Casa Bonita?
Me: oh... uh... sorry I usually try to spread my strange turns of phrases out but uh... yeah, Casa Bonita is this restaurant in Colorado where this guy in a gorilla suit jumps off a cliff and ... the food is really awful but ... you know, you still go there because ... this guy in a ... gorilla suit ...
Friend: *blank look*
Me: yeah.
Watch what you say, little Peakers, because these peeps over here might totes goats not understand what you say and that is bad news bears because then you sound like a total Boulderite and you will be like "OMQ, I just fell off the stage". Or something like that.
