The weather is makes fun of other parts of the country's weather more than it predicts it.
You know what micro-climates are.
You know what the Santa Ana's are, and that they have nothing to do with the city of Santa Ana.
Every street is in Spanish, or is Spanish related, and you're suprised when other's cities aren't the same.
When you're visiting another part of the country and your friends take you out to dinner to a 'really good mexican food place' and you're not impressed.
Your idea of a white christmas is the sand at the beach.
Your high school has a surf team.
Your house is worth more than some small countries.
You have a favorite - the WAP or the Zoo.
Your house has no air conditioning, and you don't think it's wierd.
You live on, near, or are surrounded by hills.
If the menu doesn't have California Burritos on it, forget it - it's not real mexican food.
You tell non-San Diegans how good fish tacos are, and they think you're disgusting.
You remember when living on Euclid ment you lived in a good part of town.

Now that's a pretty good list!!

1. You used to be able to drink on the board walk
2. Rubios used to have monster cheap burritos and you had to go to pb to get them.
3. You could go to the ER and NOT wait 10 hours because it was packed with Illegal Aliens.

You know you're in San Diego when:

You go to a Padres game, and the game is tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 8th, and all the fans get up and go home anyway.

You know your from PACIFIC BEACH or SAN DIEGO when....

On every holiday the WHOLE beach community is wasted and ice lodges, beer bongs …naked people are a common occurrence.

Biking around on a pimped out cruiser is considered a cool thing to do.

You know who Slo Mo is and think he is an awesome dude!

Bay Watch Babes on the beach is the real deal

Horse Shoes isn't just a game… it's a sport

Wearing whatever you can find on the floor closest to you is fine for any occasion

You can find 4 guys that aren't gay sharing a one room apartment that costs 2 grand just so they can live on the beach to surf

A bathing suit is considered a typical outfit to be worn at bars, restaurants or any place one pleases.

Beer is the beverage of choice for any picnic at the beach

Poop bags are found by any patch of green grass

Bob Marley isn't just a man but a religion

You understand what May-Gray and June-Gloom is. ( you mean other places

Your fake ID is taken away at the bar and then 9 months later after your 21st birthday your real one is
then confiscated.

Tan isn't just an every once in a while thing but your actual year round color.

The weather is overcast for two hours and every local is complaining as if it was a monsoon that lasted 2 months

You turn the AC on in your car during Winter

You know the Mossy Nissan song by heart

You know what it means when two guys are walking in Hillcrest.

Your house doesn't have air conditioning.

There are more taco-shops than there are Starbucks.

The name of your favorite Mexican restaurant ends with "berto's"

Your house is worth more than the GDP of some small countries.


You know what MB, IB, OB, and PB stand for.

You've yet to experience fall or winter.

Every street name is either in Spanish or Spanish related, and you're
surprised when other areas don't have this.

There's a North County, a South County, and an East County but no Central
County or West County?

You or someone you know doesn't own pants, and have a neighbor who doesn't
seem to own a shirt.

You know what Santa Ana's are, and that they have literally nothing to do
with the city of Santa Ana.

The year is filled with more raging wildfires more often than cloudy days.
Sex on the beach isn't just a T.V show

With most of the streets being spanish name, it is hard when you have to give your address over the phone to someone not from SD. I always have to spell it out and then they still massacre it.

If you live by the coast, 78 is so hot and 64 is too cold.

You bought a portable AC unit, but only use it 4 times a year.

To the observant tourist who said that we say "marine layer" instead of "smog"- we don't call it smog because it's not smog! It's a "marine layer" as in fog, particles of water ('marine) in the air from the ocean which is full of said water and is right next to, in case you hadn't heard, San Diego. That's why there's no "marine layer" in Escondido. No ocean! Smog is for L.A. .

I disagree. Actually, you know what IB, OB and PB stand for and that you never call Mission Beach MB.
