Everyone knows that there are just some things that you should never utter to certain people.. it’s just in bad taste and can result in a throat punch, silent treatment, or passive aggressive messages on social media. If you’re unsure about what not to say to someone from Colorado, you’re in luck! Here are 15 sentences you should never ever say to someone from the 303 (or 720, 719, or 970).

1.) Dan Marino is the best quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Giphy John Elway is not amused.

2.) Isn’t it always snowing there?

Giphy Yes… except for when it isn’t (about 300 days a year).

3.) We just moved here from California!

Giphy They. Are. Invading.

4.) What kind of accent is that?

Giphy I cannot count the number of times I’ve been asked this question.. what accent?!

5.) Doesn’t everyone in Colorado live in the mountains?

Giphy Only the lucky ones.

6.) Vermont has the best skiing in the country.

Giphy Even Bob Newhart disagrees with that statement.

7.) Peyton’s probably going to retire next year.

Giphy Your mom is probably going to retire next year..?

8.) (While hiking) Is it going to be uphill the entire way?

Giphy It is until I push you down the hill for asking such annoying questions…

9.) Are we going to get attacked by wildlife if we go camping?

Giphy stares blankly

10.) (While camping) Is anyone else having a hard time finding a signal on their phone?

Giphy Oops.. I accidentally just chucked your iPhone into the blazing fire!

11.) Why does everything say “5280”?

Giphy Do yourself a favor and unfriend these people right. now.

12.) Isn’t Boulder full of hippies?

Giphy Actually, there are a lot of hippies in Boulder (I kid, I kid.. kinda).

13.) Can we go to Casa Bonita?

Giphy Can we just save the trouble of standing in line for over an hour and share this can of cat food instead?

14.) Can I get you a Budweiser to drink?

Giphy Get out! Get out right now!

15.) You just live in Colorado because marijuana is legal.

Giphy If you do, you are here for the WRONG reasons.

If you’re friends with somebody from CO, take my advice and never utter these words. To my fellow Coloradoans: What did I miss?

Giphy
