Those who live in the Alamo City long enough tend to worry about keeping their SA street cred. And that means watching what they say in public.
After all, you don't want to be caught saying something that disparages your beloved city, belittles its revered institutions or bashes the unique things that make it stand apart from the anonymous strip-mall hells other U.S. metro areas are rapidly becoming.
So, there are a lot of things we San Antonians tend not to admit out loud — even if they happen to be true. For example, some of us may think the Chicken Dance is the dumbest excuse for exerting physical activity known to humans ... but we keep that to ourselves lest we look like jerks at our cousin's wedding. Right?
