Things I Have Learned In The South
 
A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.


There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.


There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South, plus a couple no ones seen before.


If it grows, itll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite cha.


Onced and Twiced are words.


It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!


Jaw-P? means Did yall go to the bathroom?


People actually grow and eat okra.


Fixinto is one word. It means Im fixing to do that.


There is no such thing as lunch. There is only dinner and then there is supper.


Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar.


Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.


The word jeet is actually a phrase meaning Did you eat?


You dont have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is, you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.


You dont PUSH buttons, you MASH em.


You measure distance in minutes.


You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.


All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, or animal.


You carry jumper cables in your car - for your OWN car.


You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Tonys, Tabasco and ketchup.


The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local high school sports and motor sports, and gossip.


You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.


You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit a bit warm.


You know what a hizzy fit is.


Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite pastime known as goin Wal-Martin' or off to Wally World.


You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chicken stew weather.


Fried catfish is the other white meat.


We don't need no dang Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive dag-nabbit.


You understand these jokes and forward them to your Southern friends and those who just wish they were from the SOUTH.

hellz yeah!

i eat okra ...jeet! lol

DOM 08-05-2010 03:50 PM

okra is nasty lol

i live in the south but im not southern lol

FACE 08-05-2010 04:38 PM

I'm with you on that, DOM... I can't stand mayo either... I like collards though, but only if they're cooked right.. And almost anything can be cooked is better fried ;)

Patch 08-05-2010 04:40 PM

Okra means gumbo to me. Is it used for anything else?

Neuromancer 08-05-2010 05:18 PM

People eat okra straight up.

I love the south... the people mostly. Somethings I just cant get used too though. Pop and buggies... and bacon in my string beans. I like spinach dammit not collard greens.

Hissy Fit is not southern... its pretty universal.

When you get into the poor areas of the south (not inner city... but real "hickville" type areas. McDonalds is fine dining, and they have a steward that walks around, makes sure your meal is okay, and offers you mints afterward. (No lie)

People down south talk to their neighbors. Whether they be across the lot or "down the road aways." I got looked at funny, because when I moved to center city philadelphia I went around and knocked on doors. I have traveled a lot as a kid. The south rubbed off on me. I do prefer northern south though (like West Virginia, tennesse type areas.. although the carolinas are nice just gets too hot...)

Oh one last thing...

I lived in LA for a spell too... distance is measured in minutes there as well... because of traffic.

Q: "How far away is the Grocery store?"
A: "5 minutes in the middle of the night, 30 minutes during the day."

LOL...pretty good. I was shocked when I moved to Texas from Minnesota. My first introduction to the insect population was when I sat on a curb and unknowingly sat too close to a fire ant mound. The little bastards waited until there were about a hundred on me then they started to sting. They are from HELL! Each welt was about the size of an egg yolk. My next experience was the red wasps.....one of them got me 5 or 6 times on the arm then once on the fucking eyelid for good measures. God I love this place.

I disagree with one thing; The snakes, they all moved north and east to a place called Washington DC.
