Baltimoreans are one-of-a-kind. Although the city residents are diverse, there are some weird things that they all have in common, including…
- They shout “O!” during the National Anthem.

- They can get a little carried away with Purple Friday…
Flickr / theblackdog2071 In honor of the Ravens football team, Baltimoreans wear purple every Friday. This can be a nice way to mix up things in the workplace, as long as you keep it professional…
- They say the word hon.

- Speaking of hon…

- They’re not picky when it comes to beer.

- They get really into Artscape.

- And speaking of quirky events…

- They’re pretty obsessed with Under Armour…
Flickr / Like_the_Grand_Canyon Under Armour’s headquarters are located in Baltimore and locals like to support this brand for that reason, and more.
- They can’t get enough of the Maryland flag.
Flickr / Jack Lyons This goes for ALL Marylanders. I mean, can you blame them? Just look at this beautiful flag!
