The first sign that you are a tourist is if you pronounce New Orleans as N'awlins. Locals actually pronounce the city name as New Awlins. People from other cities hear N'awlins because of the way locals drag out and connect their words. Most locals actually hate hearing people say N'awlins or New Or-Leans.
