Someone born in Tampa, Florida, the hottest city in Florida, 3 million times better than stupid Miami.

A person from Tampa, Florida. Tampanians may be of any race or ethnicity but a typical Tampanian would be of Cuban heritage, tan skin, brown eyes, black or dark brown hair, and bilingual (Spanish and English). Tampanian also refers to the dialect used by the natives of Tampa.

A phenomenon unique to Tampa, FL arising from social situations where strangers aren't sure whether to address each other with southern town-like hospitality or northern city-like aloofness, resulting in one or more strangers hesitantly whispering, mumbling, or even just mouthing pleasantries to each other while making minimal to no eye contact. Also a form of anomie.
