Keep Portland Weird

A slogan that Portlanders say because Portland Oregon is "weird" because it's very progressive, has a lot of hippies, is a place where most people are very chill, free, and accepting, and has a lot of cultural things like a lot of people who ride bikes instead of driving, get tattoos, the art focused culture, events like The Naked Bike Ride, The Naked Goddess Swim, etc.

Portlanders kind of feel like Portland is slowly becoming not as good as it was before and kind of becoming just like other big cites because of things like so many outsiders moving there and becoming sort of an exploited tourist attraction because outsiders think it's so qUirKy and wEiRd, housing prices rising, gentrification, and construction of a bunch of weird giant condo buildings that everybody hates and thinks are stupid.

Portlanders tend to hate these changes a lot and wanna keep Portland the way it is because the people and the culture that makes outsiders see it as "weird" is what makes Portland the way it is and why so many people love the city so much.

Portland Hi Five

When someone from that shit hole of a hipster berg physically grabs your hand and makes you give them a hi five. Because you absolutely wouldn't do it if you were not forced to.

Can also be retaliation/solid transition from when another person does a "Face!" and shoves their hand in your face after an insult.
"hey girl, whats the matter?"

"He just gave me a Portland Hi Five! Fuck Portland!"

"Asshole."

Cleveland High School - Portland

A place for mentally ill individuals who have nowhere else to go. It is a safe haven for those retarded and a hellhole for those who want to succeed. Drugs, retards, and terrible curriculum are located here! If you want any chance of surviving an then succeeding in life, avoid this mental asylum!
"Hey John, what's the worst school you know of?" "Oh, easy. Cleveland High School - Portland!"

Portland

The self-proclaimed capital of weirdness in the USA. Proud home of hipsters, stoners, fat people and fat stoned hipsters. The people pretend to care about the environment despite managing to turn a beautiful spot in the middle of forest, which was just about the prettiest place on earth, into a sea of giant concrete rectangles that reeks of air pollution. When you cross over the Columbia River to Washington, you immediately notice that the air gets cleaner, the rivers get bluer, and so do the skies. Overall the surrounding vicinities of Portland are a great place for kayaking, fishing and hiking. Enter the city itself at your own risk: it's basically a cheaper, shittier version of Seattle, but at least Seattle has the sea planes...
You know you've been in Portland for too long when you realize your waitress at a restaurant has an Adam's Apple.

Sara was dismayed to find a Portland pickle on her morning run but equally impressed with its length and girth.
