1. You feel insulted when a non-Bisdak ridicules someone by saying "bisaya", but it's okay for you if you or another Bisdak use it to another Bisdak, as in "ah, bisayaa pud oy!"
2. You feel proud when Matud nila is sung and you sing along with it bisan dili nimo memorize.
3. Hibal-an nimo kung unsa ang habal-habal bisan wala pa ka kasakay niani ug siyempre pa ang "sikad"
4. common usages kung ga-tinagalog:
the use of "kuwan" as interjection
ang superlative nga pirmi gamiton mao ang "masyado", i.e., maingay masyado, sobra masyado, bilisan mo masyado (read: paspasi lagi)
adunay tendency nga pulihan lang ang "o" or "a" og "i", i.e., ang atop into atip, ang kan-on into kan-in, ang sud-an into sud-in ug ang utan into..(hehehehe)

16. Handuman sa Usa ka Awit is closer to your heart than Maalaala Mo Kaya TV show
17. You know what HITACHI means (Himantayon, Tabian, Chismosa/o)
18. SUTUKIL is as common as TAPSI, in fact you know that SUTUKIL came first
19. Your common pulutan for Tuba drinking is "TARGET" - asin nga targeton lang nimo sa imong tudlo
20. You have at least once in your lifetime experienced "Ang Mysterio sa Paglawig sa Barko Padulong Manila", a phenomenon that when the Boat is approaching Manila, everybody around you suddenly becomes tagalog speaking nga adtong miaging adlaw lang pwerting bisaya pa ninyo!
21. You whisper bisaya to a fellow bisdak in the midst of a tagalog crowd...and he replies loudly to you in tagalog!
