1. How to use turn signals.
2. Health food doesn't come with ranch dressing.
3. Walking around Walmart doesn't count as exercise. Especially if you're there to buy Dr Pepper in bulk.
4. Suburban strip malls are not "just like Utica Square."
5. Tattoos don't make you edgy anymore. Seriously, your pastor's wife is probably inked by now.
6. Dark jeans are not dress pants.
7. Pickup trucks are not exempt from the speed limit.
8. Parallel parking.
9. Traffic circles.
My list is kind of heavy on driving habits, but for good reason. Tulsa actually had to redesign the Bartlett Square fountain to make the intersection safe for cheerleaders.
10. "I've been to the one in Dallas" is not necessarily a recommendation for whatever chain restaurant opened this week.
11. Downtown has enough parking. Actually, more than enough. You have to walk farther to get to Target's door than to McNellie's.
12. Downtown is not dangerous.
I know people who are still afraid to leave the BOK Center after dark. But I'm downtown all the time, and I've been mugged only three times so far this year.
13. Sarcasm.
I haven't actually been mugged.
sär-ka-zəm: Noun. An ironic statement that actually means the opposite of its literal interpretation.
