If you come to New Orleans, you better say it right. It's pronounced "Nawlenz." No one from here says "New Orleens" unless they are writing a song or they want their ass kicked.
It's hot. It's humid. It rains. Those are the only three weather patterns we have here.
No one eats healthy. Fried Batter is actually a menu item in some restaurants.
Giving directions to a nonlocal in New Orleans is a waste of time. Every street intersects with each other. No two streets run parallel to each other. The West Bank is actually east of the city. It would take too long to explain.
One out of three street names is impossible to pronounce unless you were born in New Orleans, or you are a Cajun.
If the levee breaks, everyone here will die. And no one seems worried about this problem either.
There are 365 days in the year. There are 414 parties/festivals in New Orleans. (And that's just in a slow month.)
LOUISIANA DRIVING RULES
1. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same drivers to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels.
2. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Louisiana driver never uses them. The use of them in New Orleans may be illegal.
3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered "going with the flow."
4. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork. (Reason: No insurance)
