We might take it for granted at times, but Glaswegians are a distinctive bunch.
We have a way with words, a unique sense of humour and generations of in-jokes that you could only really know from living in our city – or at least knowing someone who does.
Whether you're 18 or 80, there are some universal truths and time-honoured customs that we've grown up with that are here to stay. Meeting under the clock at Central, asking 'how?' instead of 'why?' and getting told off for putting on 'the big light' on.
We asked and the readers answered – here's a round up some of your best comments telling us how you can prove you're from Glasgow without flat-out saying it.
