1. Earthquakes.

The only time the phrase “Did you feel it?” has zero sexual connotations.
2. Traffic.
Complaining about how much time you spent in traffic is like a weird form of bragging in L.A.
4. Juice cleanses.
Because it also burns calories to talk about your diet.
5. Where they went hiking this weekend.
Because being fit isn’t enough; you also have to talk about how you’re on that healthy grind too.
6. Yoga.
Universal Pictures / Via huffingtonpost.tumblr.com
Typical points of conversation: What studio do you go to? Is your instructor hot? Where do you go for brunch after?
8. Coachella.
FameFlyNet
Either they’re SO EXCITED TO GO TO COACHELLA or they’re just excited everyone else is leaving and the city will be empty.
9. Directions
NBC / Via quickmeme.com
This is L.A., you can’t just go from Point A to Point B, silly!
10. And then also shortcuts.
Columbia Pictures / Via giphy.com
A true hero passes on their shortcuts to their friends.
11. The “weather.”
Over 80 is too hot, under 65 is too cold, and if it rains, it’s practically Armageddon in L.A. because people here cannot handle even a drizzle.
12. Celebrities, but casually.
Unlike plebeians from other cities, you can’t actually get excited about seeing a real, live celebrity. Instead, you casually drop their name in conversation in a total humblebrag move like you actually know them.
13. Scientology, but in a hushed voice.
Paramount Pictures / Via lestatscherie.tumblr.com
THEY’RE EVERYWHERE.
14. Toyota Priuses, whether they drive one or not.
Half the city drives one, and the other half still has a very strong opinion on them.
16. Their dogs.
Bravo / Via brokegifs.tumblr.com
People in L.A. treat their dogs better than their friends, family, and even themselves.
17. Where they went to brunch this weekend.
Warner Bros. / Via noyoureoutoforder.tumblr.com
Because like, no one spends the entire weekend hiking, obvi.
18. Gossiping about mutual friends.
MTV / Via fythehills.tumblr.com
SPILL THE TEA HONEY, SPILL THE TEA.
19. Whatever creative project they’re working on.
Literally 90% of people are “working” on a screenplay, novel, or maybe even some fingerpainting because this is the ~ city of dreams ~.
20. Going to Vegas.

What happens in Vegas comes back to L.A.
21. What neighborhood they live in.
Columbia Pictures / Via piperelizabeths.tumblr.com
It’s a badge of pride and kind of a big deal around here.
22. How far away the beach is.
Lana Del Rey Vevo / Via thehaberdash.com
Like, 10 miles. But no one ever actually goes as much as they want because that involves fighting traffic.
23. Sports.
Basically, you either talk about who is winning (looking at you, Clippers and Kings) OR you talk about how you don’t care about sports at all.
24. Where they are from originally.
Ethan Miller / Getty Images
Because practically no one is ACTUALLY from L.A., finding a native of the city is pretty much like finding a unicorn.
25. Parking.
Usually involves complaining about how far away they had to park OR bragging about how they snagged an amazing space.
27. And finally, how L.A. is WAY better than New York.
