I thought all my life that all the Rednecks in the world lived in the South. WRONG! Every state has their share...they just say the same phrases slower and more nasal depending on their location.
Symptoms That You Might Be a Redneck:
You know several people who have hit a deer.
Stores don’t have bags; they have sacks.
You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
You know what “cow tipping” and “snipe hunting” are.
There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 or more.
Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
You measure distance in minutes.
You see people wearing bib overalls at funerals.
“Vacation” means going to the family reunion.
You use “fix” as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
You think ethanol makes your truck “run a lot better.”
You know all 4 seasons: Almost summer, Summer, Still summer, and Christmas.
You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, no matter what time of the year.
You only own four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
You’ve ever had to switch from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day.
You carry jumper cables in your car.
All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.
You think that deer season is a national holiday.
You’ve seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.
You think of the major four food groups as beef, pork, beer, and Jell-O salad with marshmallows.
You find 90 degrees F “a little warm.”
About Southerners........
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, as in: "Going to town, be back drekly (directly)."
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular, sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.
Only a Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, ... and when we're "in line,"... we talk to everybody!
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.
In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural.
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart"... and go your own way.
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart!
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff...bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language!
And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads "I'm not from the South, but I got here as fast as I could."
Southern women know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah!
A Little Southern Humor
Alabama
A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.
"Where's Henry?" the others asked.
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.
"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
Georgia
The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.
He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from the University of Georgia and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000 minus 14%, how much would you take off?"
The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everything but my earrings."
Louisiana
A senior at Louisiana was overheard saying, "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana .." When asked why, he replied, "I'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world."
Mississippi
The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"
Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?"
