THINGS I HAVE LEARNED LIVING IN GEORGIA

1. Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air

2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in GEORGIA.

3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in GEORGIA, plus a couple no one's seen before.

11. Ice tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!

12. Backards and forwards means "I know everything about you."

13. The word "Jeet" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

14. You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work until you' re done or it's too dark to see.

15. You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM GEORGIA IF:

1. You measure distance in minutes.

2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

3. You use "fix" as a verb. For example: "I'm fixing to go to the store"

vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

5. You install security lights on your house and garage, then leave both unlocked.

8. You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Texas Pete, Tabasco and ketchup.


9. The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

10. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

11. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm".

12. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas.

13. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as "goin' Wal-martin" or off to "Wally World" ... Mall Mart.

14. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good Gumbo weather.

15. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop .. it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. For example: "What kinda coke you want?"

16. Fried catfish is the other white meat.

17. We don't need no stinking driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive.

18. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from

GEORGIA (and those who just wish they were). Not EVERYONE can be

a GEORGIAN, it's an art form and a gift from God! AMEN!!!!
 
lmao
 
You forgot that "Sucla" is a creative contraction for South Carolina. In all my days in Texas I've never heard as much syllable disposal.
 
lol, thats funny. I can relate to all that so it's about the same here in Texas.
 
Throckmoron thats a new one on me. I always caled them north and south cackilacki, or carolina in general.

Its a wide known myth around here that if you cross over into South Carolina you loose about 10 IQ points until you leave the state.
 
When PAK gets here to edumacate you all on the finer points of almost-southern culture, THEN shall hilarity begin

One thing I have learned...Southerns don't care how the devil they do it in New Yak.

This is particularly true of the construction trades. Many major New York Construction Companies opened branch offices down here during our 1970's building boom and again in the 80/90's.

They sure showed us how it was done "Up North".
They all left after a couple of years, licking their wounds and trying to figure what the heck went wrong.
 
To be fair, "Sucla" just came from an old timer in a diner on the interstate somewhere just into the state at about 3:30 in the morning. It was his response when repeatedly asked where we were. Only place I have been in my adult life where a 24 hour diner on the interstate didn't take plastic and the closest ATM was at the lone gas station one or two exits back (spoiled American). Oops, was this thread about Georgia? Where's that South Carolina thread?
