detroit's law

Definition

An unwritten rule that anyone from Detroit will spontaneously and repeatedly mention they're from Detroit in conversation—it's less a law and more an observable inevitability of Detroit pride. You'll know someone's from Detroit because they will absolutely tell you.

Example Usage

My buddy kept bringing up his Detroit roots during dinner; classic Detroit's Law in action.
