There are lots of stereotypes -- mostly true -- that mark someone as a fellow Mormon. Lots of kids, has a bizarely overstocked pantry, raised or educated in Utah/Idaho/Arizona, dresses modestly, smiles an awful lot, is way into education (either overly involved in PTA, or homeschools), doesn't drink, doesn't engage in commerce on the Sabbath, doesn't smoke, avoids foul language, doesn't do drugs, keeps a very upbeat blog about crafting, drives a minivan, refuses coffee (or even Coke), volunteers in the community ... A combination of two or three of those stereotypes makes one assume the individual is Mormon.
Another answer:
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) I have to say that the best explanation is that sometimes, you just know. I can't really explain how. It's something in the way a person looks and acts. Sometimes I might suspect someone is also a Mormon but not quite be sure, so I'll ask. For everyday situations, that is really the only way to tell - asking or looking for clues.
Clues might be found in the clothes or jewelry they are wearing, what they are eating or drinking, or in something they are doing or talking about.
However, if someone is trying to enter the Temple, they must show a recommend from their Bishop to prove that they are baptized and worthy to enter.

Why are you afraid of the definition of a Mormon?
The definition of "Mormon" is "a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". I have no idea why anyone would be afraid of that, unless they are afraid of religious people. Maybe getting to know Mormons a little better will help cure your fears. The official Mormon website has profiles of thousands of Mormons, some including video or links to personal social networking profiles (the link is provided under "Related Links" below). Perhaps if you know what a typical Mormon is like, you won't be afraid of them anymore.
Why do Mormons like football so much?
There are a lot of Mormons who play football, both professionally and for universities. Many of these are of Tongan and Samoan descent. I guess Church members enjoy watching and supporting fellow members. That being said, I don't think Mormons like football more than anyone else. Maybe it's just the ones you know. I'm a Mormon and I am not a football fan. Neither is my husband! Just because we are Mormon-The Church Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints- doesn't mean that we are different . We are just like regular people. We like to do what other people do. We are just people!

Do Mormons own hotels?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not own or operate any hotels. Many individual Church members may own or operate hotels. While it would be impossible to know about each one, we do know of some large national chains that are either owned by Mormons or have Mormons in high level positions. For example, the CEO of LaQuinta is a Mormon, and the founders and owners of the Marriott chain are Mormon.
