I have been thinking about this ever since I got to school. Sure, us southerners talk a little bit differently and talk a little slower but hey we aren't all the same. Here are a few things that every southerner is tired of hearing.
1. "Do you actually like sweet tea?"
Of course I do. Yes, I have it with almost every meal but I like water and diet coke just as much as the next person.
2. "What does that mean?"
You don't know what "you look happier than a pig rolling around in a puddle of mud" means? Bless your heart.
3. "Is 'Bless Your Heart' actually harsh?"
No, it can be taken two ways. One way is when you feel bad for someone and the other is basically when there is nothing you do for that person because they are just plain crazy.
4. "Does everybody from the south talk slow?"
Okay, I know this is some kind of thing where everybody believes we talk really slow. Some of us actually talk really fast. It's a talent really.
5. "Wait, you're smart?"
Yes sweetheart I am. I hate to disappoint ya that some of here rednecks actually know what the difference between 'they're' and 'their' are.
6. "Do you all actually like the confederate flag?"
This question right here is a very heated topic. Yes I like my southern roots and the confederate flag you are talking about is a battle flag. Learn your history.
7. "Is NASCAR actually a sport?"
Okay, I'm not a huge fan of cars going around and around in circles but some of us down here actually like to go have a beer, and watch it. It is honestly about the fights between pit crews really.
8. "Are you all actually Republican?"
No honey, we are not.
9. "What are grits?"
A breakfast food. A delicacy.
10. "Do you all want guns?"
Yes and no. Sure, we want guns but only to protect ourselves from crazies out in this world.
11. "Why do you eat everything fried?"
Why don't you? Fried and dipped in butter is actually good. The ten pounds that I just gained from eating it is not the best though.
12. "Do you eat everything fried?"
To piggy-back off of 11, it is good. It is delicious actually, but no I don't eat everything fried. I liked grilled food and salads every now and then.
13. "What's the big deal with football?"
Tailgates. Wings. Friends. Memories. Fall. Did you forget that there is also baseball too? Just cause we love it so much doesn't mean some of y'all don't either.
14. "Do you actually eat barbecue after church?"
No, why would we do that? Sometimes its too hot for barbecue or we just don't want it. We like other food after church.
15. "Your favorite music genre is country isn't it?"
I like country music but I don't always listen to it.
16. "Why monogram everything?"
Mainly because it is cute. But no, not everything in my closet is monogrammed.
