3. What?

I've never heard that about "true Philadelphians." Born, raised, lived most of my life there. I say I'm from Philly. My family says it. Every single person I know says it. Maybe a generational divide, but even people much much older than me say "Philly."

Now, if people from Bensalem or Delco want to say, "I'm from Philly," then we're gonna fight.
