3. Do non-philly people really call it "philadelphia" cream cheese?
Or do they wink/nudge at the inside joke.

4. I am a former Philly person.
Atleast, I was born there. But I never heard any of my Philly relatives use the word Youse. That is only said in New Jersey.

6. Yes, if you hail originally from New York
We native New Yorkers, especially from working-class backgrounds, also say "youse." In fact, my grandma said "you" for one, "youse" for two, and "yiz" for three or more--and she came from Brooklyn!

BTW, we can also say "yo"!

8. New Jerseyans certainly are
but it would be spelled "youse" :-)
