Eh, since these are always fun for debate...

I know upstate people say some stuff strangely (merry, mary, marry all pronounced the same), but do they really pronounce Elf and Alf the same? Never heard that before.

Nobody wants a Wegmans tour unless they've just left Albany for the first time in their lives...

I don't get the SUNY Binghamton Business Admin thing.

There's a few things in there I've never heard of or got, that card game's one of them.

In my experience, Central New Yorkers play Pitch and Western New Yorkers play Euchre.

Now it makes sense, I know about Pitch and I'm from Cuse, never heard of Euchre or whatever in my life. lol

Pitch is weird, Euchre weirder.

Pitch is weird, Euchre weirder.

I was raised playing Pitch. I've played Euchre a few times, but I just can't get into it.

"Honor your partner." "Honor your corner."

I think every school used the same worn-out record.

Grew up in Rochester. Learned Euchre early, and played almost daily with my friends.

Funny (lazy) that the picture they used showed cards that are not used in Euchre (only use 9's through Aces).

Haven't played in years.

"Dive for the oysters, Dig for the clams" Did anyone actually enjoy square dancing in gym class?

I learned Euchre at IC from my Rochester friends.
