I am 78% Southern Belle..........The other 22% is the yankee influence beings I am married to one.

 

69% percent dixie. I guess the four years in Texas didn't hurt. Remember, born and raised in California, we steal stuff from everyone.

 

Wow 83% Dixie for me! Guess living in FL, GA and Texas most of my life will do that.

 

89% Dixie

 

If you are from the northern states and planning on visiting
or moving to the South, there are a few things you should
know that will help you adapt to the difference in lifestyles:

The North has sun-dried toe-mah-toes, the South has 'mater samiches.

The North has coffee houses, the South has Waffle Houses.

The North has dating services, the South has family reunions.

The North has switchblade knives, the South has Lee Press-on Nails.

The North has double last names, the South has double first names.

The North has Ted Kennedy, the South has Jesse Helms.

The North has an ambulance, the South has an amalance.

The North has Indy car races, the South has stock car races.

The North has Cream of Wheat, the South has grits.

The North has green salads, the South has collard greens.

The North has lobsters, the South has crawdads.

The North has the rust belt, the South has the Bible Belt.


If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.

Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store....Don't buy food at this store.

Remember, "y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural, and "all y'all's" is plural possessive.

Get used to hearing "You ain't from 'round here, are ya?"

You may hear a Southerner say "Ought!" to a dog or child. This is short for "Y'all ought not do that!" and is the equivalent of saying "No!"

Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either.

The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big'ol," as in "big'ol truck or "big'ol boy". Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it.

The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.

Be advised that "He needed killin" is a valid defense here.

If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this," you should stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say.

If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there.

When you come up on a person driving 15 mph down the middle of the road, remember that most folks learn to drive on a John Deere, and that is the proper speed and position for that vehicle.

Do not be surprised to find that many 10-year-olds own their own shotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim.

In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.

If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits!

 

76% dixie here

 

84% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

And actually I do. He was fighting the north, got shot in the ear and retreated to a barn. His comrades refused to help him and fled and he was soon captured by northern troops who nursed him to health. Taken in by the hospitality, he started fighting for the north.

 

"55% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category."

I gotta represent. I had a friend in school from texas who wondered why our history books said the south lost the war.... he also wondered who this 'honda' guy was.

 

Ours is truly a mixed marriage. I am an Alabama girl married to a New York Yankee. Up North they DO NOT HAVE SWEET TEA!!!! Thats a total sin!
Ok:

Cracklin Cornbread
Grits swimming in butter
Collard or Turnip Greens
Raw Turnips fresh out of the garden
Fried Green Tomatoes
Chitlins
Pork Rinds
Biscuits and gravy- the flour and bacon grease gravy...
BBQ sandwiches with extra pickles

So that's why the South was trying to court England during the Civil War.
