There are many stereotypes about those of us from Kentucky. Here are a few of my favorite reactions and "jokes" people like to make when they find out I'm from Kentucky.
“Are you use to seeing people with teeth yet?”
I'm about to be looking at somebody without teeth if you keep making crappy jokes.
“Glad to see you are wearing shoes!”, “Is it weird having to wear shoes all the time? I’m sure it is an adjustment.”, “Where are your overalls at?”
Apparently, people think we are pretty ugly and we can't dress ourselves. But have you ever seen Jennifer Lawrence kill it on the big screen?
“Is one leg longer than the other from standing on all those hills?”
I don't even think that is physically possible.
“So do you eat a lot of fried chicken?"
Just because it's called Kentucky Fried Chicken doesn't mean every single person likes it.
Me: *Says something in class*, Person: “What do you know you are from Kentucky!”
We might not have the best track record for education, but I'm pretty sure I'm attending the same university as you.
“So you’ve been to the Kentucky Derby then right?”
I mean Oaks and Derby are two events I'd recommend to anyone, but we have a lot more to offer.
“Which cousin is better in bed?”
People actually think the phrase “5 million people and only 15 last names” is actually true?
“Are there even cities in Kentucky?”
Some people think we are the most rural state in the country.
