A popular social media trend has been the “How to spot someone from somewhere” challenge in 30 seconds or less.
So we had to ask our own Secret New Orleans followers: “How to spot a New Orleanian in 30 seconds” and we got some pretty amazing and funny answers.
Take a look at our top picks below and check out the thread we made on Instagram if you need a good laugh (or want to share your own).
1. “Walking with a cocktail in hand”.
2. “They’re wearing a parka when it’s 60º”.
3. “‘Baby’ or ‘my baby’ at the end of the sentence.
4. “Saying ‘thank you, sweetheart. Preciate you ma’ for the smallest gestures”.
5. “Hands up at the parades to protect your drink and face, not to catch beads”.
6. “Trying to walk out of a bar/restaurant with a drink and asking for a to-go cup when stopped”.
7. “They know where they got their shoes at”.
8. “Getting called ‘baby doll’ at the age of 57”.
9. “They always have a ‘to go’ cup in their hands”.
