You know you live in the South when...

One time I asked my step son(my ex was from Arkansas)if he
had taken out the trash & was told "I done did it!" .:eek::)
 
You know your in the south when.

You see a man open the door for a complete stranger.


I was in Maryland for a day. We stop at a gas station. As I walked to the door a noticed a lady walking behind me. So, in my true gentlemanly fashion I pulled the door open and stepped aside. The lady stopped and looked me up and down. Then say got a superized look on her face, and said "oh thank you".

I guess that sort of thing isn't common in those parts.
I thought that that was mandatory everywhere. But what do I know? I was raised in North Carolina.
 
Now that's a meal that makes my mouth water. Also I salute you for getting the real Stars and Bars hanging up. Most people don't know that's the real flag.

This was my room in Afghanistan. My 1st National flag is referred to as the "bread of life" version, due to the loaf shaped star pattern. This was the banner that General Robert E Lee had for his headquarter's flag.

Another real flag thank you for posting this, it's good to see some people know the difference between the Stars and Bars and a Confederate Battle Flag or a Naval Jack.

And thank you for your service sir.

Aka: "Headquarters Flag" and "The Ark and the Covenant".
 
Not sure about the Y Thing. There is a town on the NC/SC border, it's in NC, called RUTHERFORDTON....

LACALS SAY...."RUF'TON".

Town in northern SC called Clinton. To locals it's CLIN'N.

Northerners think Southerners speak (and think) slowly, but I disagree. I live in WNC and get TV stations from East Tennessee. I watch commercials from car dealers in Johnson City where they speak so fast and abbreviate words so much, you have to pay close attention to understand them. 'Johnson City' comes out as 'JohCy'.
 
My Dad (who was from Warsaw New York) and met my Mother (who was from Clinton North Carolina) when he was in WWII basic training in Georgia. Well they got married and both families had a problem with it so they did the only logical thing.

Move to West-By-God-Virginia!

So I'm a hillbilly (oops sorry, "Appalachian American") - with some insight on both sides. And You'uns is all crazy!
