31 Things You Need to Explain to Out-of-Towners About OC

20. The "Y" and the Orange Crush will destroy your soul

• The first of these traffic nightmares occurs where the 5 meets the 405 near the Irvine Spectrum. The second is where the 57, 22, and 5 all merge, near Angel Stadium. During rush hour -- let's say 2pm until 7pm -- both get more bloated than Val Kilmer's whale belly. Avoid them, although side-street capillaries can get just as crowded.

22. Stay off the 55 freeway while the sun is out

• Here's something no longtime OC dweller has ever said: "Hmmm, it's only 3:30 here in Newport Beach... I'll be home in Yorba Linda by 4!" No, no you won't. Try 6. Maybe. You could probably get to DTLA faster -- if there wasn’t all that construction on the 5 north.

31. That little town between Fullerton and Yorba Linda is pronounced Plah-CENT-cha

• Do not say Play-cent-EEah. Nor is it Placenta. Also: Westminster, not WestMINISTER.
