Ohioans. We do some strange things that we don't realize we do until we move states or our non-Ohio friends point it out. We are proud of these odd things and do them with pride. We're known for many firsts, many weird buildings, the "Hell is Real" sign and of course the Three Big C's: Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. You are sure to find potholes, bipolar weather, and cornfields no matter what time of year you visit. Aside from being known for presidents, astronauts, firsts, etc., we are also known for our weird lingo, sports teams, and strange habits.
