Esfooni

What are the stereotypes associated with people from Esfahan?

* Funny accent ending many words with "es" ("Moses" is a yellow fruit in Esfahan and not a name of a Prophet).
* Being conniving ("zereng").
* Being frugal ("moorchekhor"). Also "pooleki" is an adjective and not just what you have with tea.
* Gaz khor.
* Noon shirmal khor.
* Beryooni khor.
* Still hope that one day the capital moves to Esfahan as it's central and less prone to earthquakes than Tehran.
