[W]e asked readers to tell us the 51 things you’ll never hear a “real” Portlander utter. The responses came in fast and furious (that’s a reference to a movie a real Portlander probably wouldn’t watch), quickly eclipsing the quota. You can check out all of the responses on the original post — with still more on The Oregonian’s Facebook page — and add your own. Here’s our top 11:
11) Wait! I need to get my umbrella!
10) One tattoo is enough.
9) Maybe the porkpie hat is not right for me.
8) My jeans/fleece/sandals are probably inappropriate for this occasion.
7) My beard is getting too long.
6) I always shave my legs when I wear a kilt.
5) Wow, the service at McMenamins is fast.
4) Budweiser, please.
3) Oh, yeah, Seattle is EXACTLY like Portland.
2) Sam Bowie was the right choice.
1) Do these glasses make me look nerdy?
